The battle of life and death are closing in. A couple of weeks have passed since the party. It's 12th of March. Two more days before White day. It's Thursday. "Co-chan. White day is coming. Why don't you take this chance to give something to her? You know, something unusual. Something special" Yukiko suggested.
"Maybe I should ask tou-chan for advices for gifts" Conan said and walked to his father.
"Tou-chan. Do you have any idea of a gift I should give her?" Conan asked. Yuusaku looked up from his book and smiled.
"To make a present special, you must choose it yourself. Trust your heart and pick the right one" Yuusaku said before returned to his book.
"You must give her a present that's not only great but a present that could make her feel special" Yuusaku closed his book and put it on the table. "I know you can do it son. Just try to open your heart to decide" Yuusaku patted Conan's head and left the room.
"Open my heart to decide huh?" Conan repeated his father's words and smirked. He dialed a number. "Jodie-sensei… Can you help me?"
In Agasa's house. "Ai-chan, White day is just two days ahead. What do you think he will get you?" Fusae whispered.
"I don't know. Maybe he won't give me anything. It's possible" Ai said in monotone.
"C'mon Ai-chan. Be more positive" Fusae patted her shoulder.
"Well, probably he'll just give me some roses or some item or anything" Ai replied more hopeful.
"Now that's the spirit" Fusae replied cheerfully. "Maybe I really should be more positive?" Ai thought.
Ding dong. The doorbell chimed. "Oh, Conan" She opened the door to let him in.
"There's going to be a party here on Saturday isn't it?" Conan asked Ai while turning on the tv.
"Yeah, I think Agasa hakase will announce his marriage then" Ai sat beside him. "Hmm…?" Conan thought curiously.
"Something wrong?" Ai asked.
"Nah… It's just, you usually sat in front of me and read a magazine" Conan pointed to the other sofa.
"Oh, so you don't like me beside you. It's alright I can change my position" Ai said sarcastically while death glaring at Conan. He gulped blushing.
"N-no, it's alright. Just informing" He chuckled lightly.
"Time sure goes by fast" Conan said. Ai looked at him confused.
"I mean. It's just like yesterday we've just informing the police about the org. and now we're just a week or two before the final showdown" Conan explained.
"Yeah, I guess so" Ai replied. "What do you think about the aftermath of the battle?" Ai asked.
"I hope we can maintain as little deaths as we can, and we hope we can bring the NOC's back without any loss" Conan answered. "And we still need to the thing" Conan finished.
"Yeah, the thing. I hate that thing very much" Ai said while turning her eyes to half-shaped moons.
"C'mon. Don't be angry, or… Sad. On that day we will be free. No more living in the shadows. No more lying to the peoples we love. No more hiding from the world" Conan smiled at Ai.
"Probably. But that's if they accepts us" Ai reminded him.
"Well, even if they don't accept us, we can move to U.S.A and start a new life with my parents, Agasa, and Fusae-san"
"We?" Ai asked curiously.
"Of course. How can I leave you when I already promised? Not only that though, I have other reasons. Many other reasons" Conan replied while closing the space between him and her.
"Your hair smells good. What shampoo do you use?" Conan asked while inhaling Ai's hair scent.
"A cherry and strawberry mix scented one. Why? Do you like it?" She rested her head on him and closed her eyes.
"Yeah, could say that" He inhales again. "Who knows that her smell is so sweet that it can make you addicted?" Conan thought.
"YUMMY!" Genta exclaimed.
"The food is great" Mitsuhiko cheered.
"Yeah, and congratulations Agasa hakase. You are getting married with Fusae-obasan" Ayumi said. Everybody was happy and enjoying the party.
"Where's that brat- I mean, Conan-kun?" Kogoro asked.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since Agasa hakase announced his marriage"Answered Ran.
At the roof. "Hey, you lonely?" Conan asked.
"Yes and No" Ai answered.
Earlier that day. "Hey, Ai-chan. Has he given you something yet?" Fusae asked. "Not yet Fusae-san. But I think my first thought was right. He wouldn't give me anything" Ai said hurt. "Ai-chan. Patience. He might be searching for the right time" Fusae reassured Ai. And until now she haven't received anything from him. They sat in silence for a pretty long time.
They were watching the stars. It's becoming a habit of them. Every time they're like this they would look at the stars, like hoping to tell them what to do.
"Ai, I'm sorry" Conan looked to her.
"I hope you're not sad because I haven't given my response for that chocolate on Valentines" Conan gave her a box. With both her real name and fake. The box was a bit heavy but light at the same time. It's pretty small. Not too small but smaller than her chocolate box.
"Open it" Conan asked her.
"Okay" She opened the box. "Is this a necklace?" She asked while lifting the present up.
He took the box away and grabbed the locket kind of necklace to put it on her. "Look inside" Conan asked her again.
She tried to find the cap to open the lid. "Ah, found it" She said then opened it.
"Wha- what is this?" She opened her mouth surprised. Conan smiled.
"I asked Jodie-sensei and Akai-san to search for your sister's files. Any files. Anything that have her photo in it. And here it is. I've edited and resized the photo since morning and place it in there" She continued to look at the photos.
"This one…" She pointed.
"Yeah. That's us, with the others. I wanted you to remember us every time. That's the only photo that have you smiling inside" Conan holds the locket with Ai together.
"Even if you leave one day. You will remember me, us, with this. The memories. The laughs and cries. The joy and pain. Everything" Conan said while looking at Ai. Their noses were touching, their lips were barely apart. Ai couldn't hold anything more. She hugged Conan tightly.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you" She repeated those words. "This is the best gift anyone ever given me. Thank you" She hugged him tighter and he hugged back. He was drowned by her scent. He caressed her hair.
"Promise me won't you? That you will remember me forever, wherever you are whenever you are" He asked sincerely. She kept repeating 'thank you' then stopped.
"I promise… Shinichi" She smiled genuinely on his chest.
"Thank you… Shiho" They both stayed at that position until they fell asleep.
"Bye hakase. Thanks for the food and all" Ran waved.
"Thank you Agasa hakase" Three kids chorused.
"Bye you all" Agasa and Fusae waved back. Agasa closed the door.
"Where is those two? I haven't seen them"
"Let's search for them" Fusae suggested. They searched the whole house and got to the roof lastly.
"I guess they're asleep" Fusae said.
"The weather isn't bad. Just let them be. I think something happened when the party was still going" Agasa suggested.
"Yeah" They went down and got to sleep.
Conan and Ai woke up first thing in the morning. "Where are we?" Conan asked.
"I guess we fell asleep and slept on the roof last night" Ai answered while looking around.
"Oh yeah, last night…" Conan whispered quietly, remembering last night's events.
"Thank you, Conan. For everything" She thanked him again. He smiled.
"You're welcome" They fixed themselves up before going down.
"Hey Ai"
"Yeah?"
"You can call me Shinichi if you want. After all it's still my name. Just not my identity anymore"
"Hey, Shinichi… Call me Shiho too if you want" She smiled very warmly. He dazed at her smile.
"Okay… Shiho" They went down to have a shower and breakfast.
"Look who's here… It's the kid who slept with his girlfriend" Kaito teased.
"Oi, why are you here?" Conan blushed.
"I'm just visiting. Well, actually sleeping over if you might say" Kaito grinned.
"Alone?"
"Nah, Aoko's upstairs" Kaito sipped his coffee.
"Hey, I've got to talk to you a second in private"Conan motioned to Kaito.
"'Kay" They went to the corner and whispered to each other.
"Ooo… So after the war, you'll reveal everything?"
"Yeah, would you join us? I mean, you still going to need to reveal your identity even if you don't steal anymore. Especially to your girlfriend"
"Yeah, guess so. Then I will bring my Kaito Kid costume"
"Great. But remember, there might be a chance that you will not be forgiven" "Yeah, I know" They went back to the kitchen.
One more day. The battle is only a day ahead. The battle of the century. The confrontation between good and evil. The downfall of a disastrous organization.
"Cool Kid. Let's go"
"Yeah" Everybody who is connected with the war are called to the headquarters.
"Everybody's here?" Matsumoto asked.
"Yes, sir" And officer answered. Matsumoto cleared his throat.
"Everybody. It's been a month and a half now since our first meeting about this. And now, there is only one day. One day to prepare. One day left before the hellish war. This is not what we've faced before. We all must work together. Unite we rise, separate we fall. All police in Japan will attend in this battle. We must settle our differences and rivalry between districts and departments. Teaming up are much needed for this. The FBI, CIA and Interpol will be there also to back us up. This is the time for us, for Japan, to bring that organization down" Matsumoto said.
"Now, this meeting is very important. We must discuss our plan on taking over the situation" Matsumoto walked to the whiteboard.
"As you know, there will be four teams. You must know what team you are placed first. It's written in the files in front of all of you" Matsumoto said and everybody picked the file up and read it.
"We also have some special guests. In our right there is Mr. Kudo Yuusaku and his wife Mrs. Kudo Yukiko. They will be placed on the same team as…" Matsumoto turned around and pointed to Conan.
"Edogawa Conan. They requested to be placed on the snipers team" Matsumoto faced everybody again.
"Here we have. Hattori Heiji and Kuroba Kaito. They will be placed on the main team" Matsumoto sat again.
"And for the FBI's. There is Ms. Jodie Starling, Mr. James Black, Mr. Andre Camel and Mr. Akai Shuuichi. These four will be the lead for the FBI team" Matsumoto pointed to the FBI agents.
"There is also. Mr. Agasa Hiroshi and his fiancée Ms. Fusae Campbell, and this girl, Haibara Ai. They will be on the same team as the FBI agent Ms. Jodie Starling. Any questions?" Matsumoto looked around. Conan raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"May I ask for this mission to be kept secret from the detective Mouri Kogoro and all of his acquaintances or family?"
"Of course. This request is granted. Any more questions?" Matsumoto checked again. "None? Okay then, the meeting is over. Everybody dismissed" Matsumoto ended the meeting.
"Ai. Are you sure you want to be with Jodie-sensei? Not that I don't trust her, but your still a kid, physically I mean" Conan asked.
"It's okay. I can take care of myself" She replied coolly.
"Baro~ I know that. Your better than me at shooting. But those people can take you as a hostage you know" Conan said worriedly. "But you can shoot them, ne Shinichi?" She smiled. And Heiji ruins everything.
"Oi, oi. How can she call ya Shinichi and I'm not?" Heiji asked annoyingly.
"It's different" Conan replied annoyed.
"Ya always says that, ahou~" Heiji stuck out his tongue.
"Well, she's an exception" Conan said and Kaito behind them snickered. "Yes, yes. Always an exception for your girl, ne Chibi-chan?" Kaito teased.
"Oi, she's not my girl" Conan and Ai blushed.
"Speaking of girls, where's your girl?" A voice said and all of them turned around to see the speaker.
"Hakuba?" The three boys said.
"Yes, it's me, Hakuba Saguru, tantei-sa" Hakuba introduced himself.
"Why are you here?" Heiji asked, he never liked this guy.
"My father is a police too, you know. And I've been chasing an assassin from that organization, the one who is targeting Kaito Kid" Hakuba smirked at Kaito while he frowned.
"So where's your pigeon?" Kaito insulted smirking back.
"It's not a pigeon, Kuroba Kaito, it's an eagle or falcon as you might say" Hakuba frowned out of annoyance.
"So where's your so called girlfriend, Kaito?" Hakuba emphasized the girlfriend word.
"Of course I wouldn't let her know about this you baka. Same for your witch girl, right?" Kaito smirked again.
"Witch?" Heiji and Conan asked.
"Yeah, this guy is dating a witch" Kaito pointed at Hakuba.
"Shut up" Hakuba snapped blushing while Kaito snickered.
"So, you will go to the war also?" Heiji asked.
"I guess so. I need to face Spider to stop him once and for all" Hakuba said full of spirits.
"I really don't get the organization. I thought only cocktails was used to make codenames. Now Snake and Spider? Weird" Conan thought frowning and sweat dropped.
"Hey, Ai. Let's go home" Conan said.
"Okay" They left the trio to their conversation.
"One more day" A deep voice said.
"Yes. And one more day before the ambush" Gin said while lighting up his cigarette.
"Hahaha. They won't know what's coming" The voice laughed so evilly that Gin and Vodka flinched.
"We will kill them. All of them. And our secret will not see the light of the day" The voice spoke again.
"Vermouth, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Kir. We will be in the main building. While Chianti and Korn will be guarding it from the rooftops. We will make sure nobody will come out of this war alive" The speaker grinned devilishly.
"I'd like to see the one who has been tracking us down. The face full of fear and decay" Gin grinned also, together with the boss.
"My, getting too little excited will let them win, Gin" Vermouth teased.
"Tch, woman" Gin muttered. He can't do anything since she is the boss's favorite.
"Now, now, dear. Don't worry. They are not fully aware of what we can do and what we have" The boss said, still grinning.
"Whatever you say, boss" Vermouth replied while blowing out a smoke.
"Hey, you need to sleep Ai" Conan said.
"I know, but I can't, I don't know why" Ai said while flipping through the channels. Conan sighed.
"I know. Me too" Conan said while walking over to the sofa.
"But you need to try. We need our energy fully restored for the battle and we can't risk being sick" He sat with her.
"Maybe you need to be lull to sleep?" Conan looked at her then started singing a lullaby.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are" He holds Ai's waist to make her closer to him.
"Up above the world so high" She rested her head on to his shoulders.
"Like a diamond in the sky" She closed her eyes.
"When the blazing sun is gone. When he nothing shines upon. Then you show your little light. Twinkle, twinkle, all the night" Conan continued singing the song until she really fell asleep.
"Goodnight, sweet dreams. Shiho" He caressed her face and kissed her forehead.
"As your bright and tiny spark. Lights the traveler in the dark. Though I know not what you are. Twinkle, twinkle, little star" He sang then fell asleep.
Today is the day. The day where all sufferings will stop and the evil is brought to justice.
"This is it" Conan said.
"C'mon. Get ready or you'll be late" Ai reminded.
"Yeah, I'll have a shower first" Conan went into the bathroom while Ai, Agasa and Fusae ate in the kitchen.
"You sure you want to go?" Agasa asked concerned.
"Yeah. I can't let you and Ai-chan go there alone, can't I?" Fusae answered smiling.
"Ai-kun, how about you?" Agasa turned to Ai.
"Of course I have the same reason" Ai stopped eating to answer. Conan went into the kitchen after taking a bath.
"Everybody's ready?" Conan checked before leaving.
"Yeah" The three answered. Ding dong.
"Huh, I wonder who is It?" Conan said while walking to the door.
"Hi, Conan~" Three kids said when Conan opened the door. "Shimatta~ This will be bad" Conan thought panicking.
"Uh... Guys, the hakase and us are going somewhere so we can't play today" Conan excused.
"Really? Can we go too?" The three asked energetically. "No. No, you can't. The hakase will go to a convention and bringing kids will be a burden to him" Conan face palmed mentally, he's a kid too physically.
"But you're a kid too Conan" Genta protested.
"Well, they're an exception" Fusae saved Conan.
"Aww~" The three kids pouted.
"Then you guys could go home. We will-"
"Hi~ Cool Kid. Let's… go…? Why are they here?" Jodie stepped in at the wrong moment.
"Jodie-sensei? What's going on here?" The kids yelled suspicious. Conan waved at Jodie-sensei.
"Uh- uh. I'm going to drive them so I said let's go, right?" Jodie faced Agasa and Fusae.
"Y-yeah" Agasa answered nervously.
"Really?" The kids asked, still not believing the answer.
"Yeah, really. Now, if you guys don't have any more questions, we'll be going" Conan, Ai, Agasa and Fusae walked to the FBI truck avoiding the kids.
"Those kids will get us in trouble. We need to do something" Conan said inside the truck.
"Yeah. I will assign one of the agents to look over them" Jodie replied.
"I think they're lying" Genta whispered while the others was already gone.
"Yeah, let's follow them" Mitsuhiko replied.
"But how? We don't have a turbo skateboard like Conan-kun" Ayumi said disappointed.
"Then let's go to Ran-neechan. Maybe she knows where they are going" Mitsuhiko suggested. Then they decided to go to the detective agency.
"Otou-san. Do you think there's a case?" Ran asked Kogoro.
"I don't know. But I heard many police cars passing by" Kogoro said seriously.
"Why don't we go there?" Eri said.
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea" They went downstairs but stopped before going into the rented car.
"Ran-neechan. Do. You. Know. Where. Agasa. Hakase. Is. Going?" The kids said between breaths.
"What? Is he missing?" Ran asked surprised.
"No. He said that he is going to a convention with Conan, Haibara, and Fusae-obasan. But I think they're lying since Jodie-sensei picked them up in a FBI truck" Mitsuhiko explained.
"I think that's suspicious. Otou-san, why not let them come with us?" Ran turned to her father.
"Fine, but hurry up" Kogoro barked. They followed the police cars from a distance so they won't be spotted.
"Here… This is your weapons and your bulletproof vest" Jodie handed over an armor and a gun.
"You need to stick together. Don't go running by yourself" Shuuichi instructed.
"Roger" The four answered. "We will be stopping a few yards from the meeting place so we can check our teams. The police, CIA and Interpol will do the same" James said. They continued to drive until they've reached the aforementioned place.
"Team A!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Team B!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Team C!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Team D!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Now listen. This is not a joking matter. This fight will determine Japan's future. So fight with all the power you've got" The leader said.
"Conan-kun. You said you wanted to have a speech?"
"Yes" Conan walked in front of the peoples and cleared his throat.
"Some of you might be scared. Some of you might be afraid. But have no fear since this is where it all ends. This is where the peoples who killed all of our loved one will vanish. This is when the shadows will face the light. This is the moment where justice triumph over evil. This Black Organization have been responsible for crimes of the century. Theft, law-breaking, trespassing, black market, blackmail, and the most of all… Murders. We have to end this once and for all. Maybe we may not come out of the battlefield without any injuries. But it is our duty to stay alive and fight for as long as we can. This is no place for games. Once you have entered the enemy's territory you cannot back down. This is for all our friends. Our family. Our nation. So lift your guns up high, go in there and fight!"
"YEAH! FOR JAPAN!" Everybody cheered.
"Great speech, son" Yuusaku smiled.
"Thank you" Conan replied smiling.
"Ai-kun. Be careful" Agasa said.
"Of course… Otou-san" Ai smiled and Agasa was shocked. Agasa was touched with her calling him otou-san. Nobody ever called him a father and she was the first. The cold and sarcastic girl he picked up from in front of his house. Agasa hugged her and let the tears drop.
"You've always been a child to me, Ai-kun"
"You're like a father to me also, otou-san. And you too, okaa-san" Ai looked to Fusae and she was touched as well. Fusae joined the hug.
"Take care. Don't die in there" Agasa said again.
"Okay" Ai smiled. "Hey, be careful okay. Even though I'm sniping up there doesn't mean I can shoot whoever gets close to you" Conan said worriedly.
"Yeah. And I'm not going to make you break that promise of yours" Ai smiled at him too.
He turned to his parents and smiled. "Otou-san. Okaa-san. Even though you will be with me, we don't know what will happens. So I want to say that. I love you, otou-san, okaa-san"
"Co-chan" Yukiko's eyes getting watery. She hugged Conan like Agasa.
"We love you too, Conan. We always do" Yuusaku said while joining the two. Somewhere in the massive crowd.
"Heiji be careful. You know how dangerous this peoples are, right?" Heizo said to his son.
"I know. But you be careful to otou-san. These guys are ruthless to everybody. And if I don't come back. Take care of okaa-san and Kazuha" Heiji replied.
"You're always my brave, intelligent son" Heizo said to Heiji. They both smiled.
"Don't worry. I will avenge you, oyaji. Or I will die in the battle and go up there with you. But I promise, I will try my hardest effort to stay alive and win the war" Kaito thought.
"Jodie… If we survive, would you want to be with me again? Together… just like old times" Shuuchi smiled at Jodie who is bewildered.
"Of course, Shuu…" Jodie returned the smile.
"C'mon everybody. Let's move out!" The leader said.
"Yes, sir!" Everybody replied. Everybody went to their posts and with their team.
"C'mon, we're almost there!" Shuuichi said.
"SHOOT THEM!" One of the organization's men said.
"TAKE COVER!" Everybody searched for an object to hide them.
"One… Two… Three! Counter-strike!" Everybody shoots back at the enemy.
"Watch out!"
"Hit 'em!"
"Let's move!" They continued their way to the rooftop.
"Stop. We scout from here!" They crouched and took out their snipers.
"A shot. Two 'o clock"
"Secure the area!"
"Watch over the other teams!" They continued to shoot every one of the people from the organization they can find.
On the other team.
"TEAM C! FOLLOW ME!" They went into the main building.
"They must be in here. All the high ranking members" Hakuba said.
"Yeah. I can't wait to face them" Kaito replied.
"Quiet down!" Heiji shushed.
"Approach the elevators quietly!"
"Roger!" They walked very silently over to the elevators.
"Let's go. It has to be the top floor" The elevators operated and went straight to the fifth floor.
"There! That door at the end of the corridor" Hakuba pointed.
"HAHAHAHA!" Somebody jumped from the ceilings.
"Long time no see… Kuroba Kaito, or should I say… Kaito Kid?" Spider laughed maniacally. He was wearing his illusion assassin clothes.
"YOU-" Kaito clenched his fists.
"GO! GO IN THERE FAST! I WILL DEAL WITH HIM!" Hakuba yelled.
"Are going to be alright?" Heiji asked.
"YEAH JUST GO!" The two and some others went into the room.
"My, my. Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Spider teased.
"I'm fine as long as you will be put behind bars" Hakuba replied.
"Behind bars? I think those kind of places do not suite me. NOW TAKE THIS!" Spider flashed a flash of light from his mask.
"Everybody, close your eyes"
"Too late!" Spider smirked. "You are now in my illusion…"
"Do not be fooled everybody! Keep your mind calm and resist the hypnosis!" Hakuba yelled. Spider threw a bunch of needles to every people there.
"Arh… How could I wake up?!" Hakuba shouted frustrated to himself. Then suddenly, there's a bang and everybody regained consciousness.
"Who was that?" Hakuba searched for the shooter.
"Can't leave you alone can't I?"
"A-Akako?"
Heiji and Kaito continued to move inside the building.
"Here it is. Prepare for anything behind the door!"
"Yeah. Got it"
"Ready? On the count of three. One… Two… Three! CHARGE!" They rushed into the room and aimed their guns.
"So this is everybody huh?" Gin said.
"This is just a piece of cake. Right, aniki?" Vodka smirked.
"Look who's here… The boy who wants to have revenge for his father" Snake aimed his gun to Kaito.
"Snake" Kaito said quietly.
"C'mon. Aren't you here to fight, brat?" Snake yelled.
"AHHH! THIS IS FOR MY FATHER!" Kaito fired at Snake and a few hit his body.
"YOU BRAT! TAKE THIS FOR SHOOTING ME!" Snake fired with his revolver.
"Watch out. He has poison coated bullets!" Kaito warned everybody. A gunfire started inside the room.
Bang, bang, bang. "So, you're Vermouth? The famous actress Chris Vineyard" Heiji still manages to smirk at Vermouth. They had a shootout and Vermouth got him.
"Hmmm… The famous detective of the west Hattori Heiji. Bye~" Heiji prepared himself for the impact of the bullet but didn't receive any. He opened his eyes and saw Vermouth shot Vodka in the shoulder.
"What? Why didn't you shoot me?" Heiji hissed.
"Don't have time. Shortly I'm an FBI agent undercover. Now, shoot them if you want to win!" Vermouth changed sides to the FBI's.
"KIR! TAKE COVER!" Vermouth throw a small grenade at Gin, Vodka, Bourbon and the boss while Kir or Mizunashi Rena ran to the FBI's side.
"Run! Go upstairs!" The boss ordered.
"Catch them. The boss and the others are running away. They don't have a place to hide anymore!" Everybody ran up to catch Gin and the rest.
"Help me here!" Kaito yelled.
"Say hello to your father in hell, Kaito Kid" Snake grinned. And suddenly a bullet hit Snake in the arm.
"ARGH!" Kaito stood up and punched him on the face. He turned around and saw Hakuba with Akako.
"Thanks"
"No prob… Even if you're a rival, we need to work together to win this" Hakuba smirked.
"What?! What are they doing here?!" Kogoro yelled.
"MEGURE-KEIBU! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Kogoro shouted.
"MOURI-KUN?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"I ASKED YOU FIRST!" "DON'T GO IN THERE IT'S DANGEROUS IF YOU'RE UNARMED"
"EXPLAIN THIS, KEIBU!" "I'LL EXPLAIN LATER, NOW GO BACK AND HIDE IN A SAFE PLACE!"
"Wait!" Ran yelled. "I saw Conan-kun going in there. And I think Heiji and his friend Kaito too"
"It doesn't matter. They're better at shooting than you. Trust me"
"WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU LET KIDS INVOLVED IN THIS?!" Kogoro yelled again.
"THERE WILL BE AN EXPLANATION, MOURI-KUN. NOW LEAVE!" Megure shouted angry.
"But… Conan-kun and Ai-chan is inside" Ayumi started to cry.
"Ayumi-chan. Megure-keibu is right. Conan-kun is far better than us. So put your trust into him and believe everything will go right" Mitsuhiko calmed Ayumi.
"But after this, he owe us some explaining to do!" Genta raised his hands and clenched his palms.
"WHAT?! OCCHAN IS HERE? TELL HIM AND THE OTHERS TO LEAVE IMMEDEATLY!" Conan yelled into the speaker.
"Calm down, son. They will control everything" Yuusaku said while sniping some peoples.
"Yeah. I really hope they won't be in there… In this battlefield" Conan said worriedly.
"Wait! WHAT'S THAT?!" There was a black object rising from afar.
"HAHAHA! YOU WON'T CAPTURE US SO EASILY!" Vodka yelled from the helicopter.
On the main building… "What! They have a military copter?! Where did they even get one?" Heiji asked Vermouth with disbelief.
"I don't even know myself. But don't worry. I had something prepared inside the heli" Vermouth smirked.
"Get in. Get in, NOW!" Gin ordered. The four people went into the copter.
"HAHAHA! YOU WON'T CAPTURE US SO EASILY!" Vodka yelled. And after that, there was an explosion.
"THAT DAMN TRAITOR VERMOUTH! JUMP!" Gin shouted. Everybody prepared to jump but stopped by Bourbon.
"You! TRAITOR!" The boss shouted and reached for his pistol, but Bourbon shots first.
"We don't have time! JUMP NOW!" Gin shouted again. Bourbon shot's his, Vodka's, and the boss's leg and jumped.
"Bye, bye GIN! This is my revenge for killing my and Akai Shuuichi's one true love" Bourbon smirked and took cover. BOOM. The helicopter crashed and exploded on the ground.
"GET HIM!" Heiji yelled.
"Wait! He's one of us!" Vermouth stopped everybody from shooting. "Success?" Vermouth asked.
"They're dead" Bourbon smirked.
"The helicopter crashed and exploded" Conan said while looking through the binoculars. "Hmph… I hope they got crushed along with the helicopter" Shuuichi said calmly.
"But their best snipers are still out there-"
"Don't worry. We already took care of them" Sera appeared from downstairs.
"Sera?! EISUKE?!" Conan asked surprised.
"Yeah. You think we're going to sit back and miss the fight?" Sera said while grabbing her sniper and Eisuke did the same.
Down in the war.
"Watch out!" Jodie yelled.
"Jodie-sensei. On your right!" Ai warned. Jodie turned over and shoots.
"Thanks Ai-chan"
"C'mon guys. Let's continue ahead. The area is almost cleared" Jodie and the rest of the team moved.
"HAKASE!" Ai yelled. Bang.
"Don't worry" Agasa smiled at Ai. They continued to clear the area and almost finished. Then, unpredicted, Gin jumped from the shadows and grabbed Ai.
"ANY OF YOU! DON'T MOVE OR I WILL BLOW SHERRY'S HEAD!" Gin said while holding Ai as a hostage. "Conan. Shinichi. Please help me!" Ai prayed in her mind.
Gin walked backwards while pointing two handguns at Ai. He moved and moved until he reached the middle of the battlefield. Everybody cornered him but couldn't shoot or he will pull the trigger even if he dies instantly.
"What should we do?" Shiratori asked.
"Wait. Don't shoot until we have find the right moment" Megure whispered.
"We can't. He's holding the two guns really close to her body" Takagi said slowly.
"Conan-kun. Help us" Sato said quietly.
"Oi, boy. Gin got Sherry as his hostage" Shuuichi barked.
"WHAT?! SHOOT HIM!" Conan yelled exasperatedly while trying to shoot with his sniper.
"I can't. There's two guns and her body is blocking one" Shuuichi replied.
"KUSO-" Conan shouted.
"Co-chan. What do we need to do now?" Yukiko asked worried about her son.
"Oi, Conan. Go save her" Sera and Eisuke said at the same time. Conan was snapped out from his deep thoughts and ran.
"Where are you going?!" Shuuichi yelled. Conan came back with his skateboard.
"I'M GOING TO SAFE HER!" He jumped and landed on the skateboard. He stepped on the accelerators and the skateboard launched with its maximum speed. They were three buildings apart from the place Gin stood. Conan rode the skateboard over the first warehouse's roof and flew really high.
"We can't let him escape. He's the most fierce and deadliest from them all" Megure whispered. And suddenly there was a hellish scream that can make your ears go deaf.
"TAKE THIS" Everybody turned around to see the source of the voice and an object hit Gin in the face with the speed of light. It was a soccer ball. Gin was thrown aback a couple of metres and Conan landed on the ground. Conan jumped again with his skateboard and kicked the ball that was flying in the air.
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER!" Conan screamed again and a flash of light blinded everyone, even the ones in the snipers place. The ball hit Gin on bull's eye. He flew and hit the warehouse's walls. Every part of his body cracked. It sounds very loudly that everybody flinched. Conan catched Ai who was thrown in the air because of the force that he kicked Gin.
"AI… ARE YOU OKAY? PLEASE DON'T DIE… PLEASE… SHIHO!" Conan yelled but only heard by her.
"I told you didn't I? I won't let you break your promise" Ai smiled.
"Ai… Shiho…" Conan hugged her tightly and everybody watched them.
"Let's go!" Conan lifted her.
"Where?" Ai asked. He looked onto the sky and answered.
"Home" Conan smiled looking at her. A smile that never formed after he was shrunk by the organization. A smile of winning, of peace.
