The Moment Where Everything Was Lost

Part I: The Eclipse

"If I could be assured of your destruction, I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept my death."

-Conan Edogawa

Chapter XI: Level Five

Author's Note: Remember that in this part Conan is Shinichi and Haibara is Shiho but when she is speaking its written Haibara. I did that on purpose because remember that it's Shinichi's point of view. In his view what she calls Haibara is Haibara.

Ran's point of view

Another dream I want to treasure...

Another nightmare I want to erase...

I want to be free.

Another day has past and I was still trapped in this own version of hell to me. I still know not what hell truly is but from what I experienced this is hell for me. My abdomen still ached from when that girl punched me. I was still momentarily paralyzed because of the pain. I had nothing to do but cry and hope. I can't sleep. Every time I sleep I have the nightmare about Shinichi being shot under a big black moon. I was always scared of that dream.

Every time I wake up from it tears are running down from my eyes. I can't stand the sight of Shinichi dead. I don't want him gone. I want him always beside me. I once lost Shinichi and I still do but I know that he'll come back someday. A world without Shinichi for me isn't a world at all. He is the only one that gives me completeness. He's the reason I wake up in this world. He's also the reason I live.

I wake up every morning wanting him by my side. I now know how stupid I've been in the past years because I just realized that I love Shinichi and want to be by his side forever. I don't know why I always kept this from him. Maybe it was because I was scared of what will his answer be but now I noticed that it was stupid to do that. If I told him before he left I may not be here right now instead he'll take me with him. I can't believe that I may not get another chance to see him again.

Footsteps suddenly came closer and closer. I tried to look up but I can only see his face covered in the shadows. "Who're you?" I asked. "Did I punch you too hard you became blind?" The person said. When I heard her voice I noticed she was a girl. "Try to sit up." She said. I did what she said. At first the pain was blinding but I was still able to do it. As I sat I got a clear view of her face. It was the woman who caused this pain. "Are you here to hurt me again?!" I said. "I just came by wanted to tell you how lucky you are." Margarita said.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "They're here to rescue you." Margarita said. "Who're they?" I said. "Who else...you detective boyfriend." Margarita said. "Shinichi?! How do you know?" I said. "I saw him with the French Police. He sure loves you." She said. "Loves me?!" I said in confusion. "I seduced him. I kissed with my greatest effort but still he chose you." She said in a sad tone. "Seduced him?! Did you get him to kiss you?!" I said in an annoyed tone.

"You sound jealous. Well I have my ways of seducing a man but he was the first to refuse like that. It was my first time feeling rejected but at least I made you jealous." She said. "Jealous?! I'm not jealous! And he's not my boyfriend!" I shouted. "If I were you I would stop saying that because other girls might hear and like me seduce him." She said walking away and disappearing out of sight. A smile became revealed on my face. I calmed down because someone was rescuing me. I can't believe it. Someone who was lost came back just for me. I know that I will be rescued because it's not just anybody who will save me it was Shinichi.

Shinichi was just outside the walls of this cell coming to get me. I can now sleep without the fear of a nightmare coming back again and again because my knight and shining armour will be there when I wake up. I don't know if Margarita's story is true but it did make me jealous but I'll just as ask Shinichi myself because I trust him whole heartedly. I can't stop the excitement rushing throughout my whole body. I can't wait to touch Shinichi's warm smooth skin, feel his radiant presence that melts my heart and hear his arrogant yet soothing voice.

I can wait an eternity as long as I know he's coming back. The thought of me being by his side is slowly becoming a reality. Of all the things that I want to ask and tell him. I only really want to do one thing. That is to completely confess my true feelings for him. I want him to hear the sweet words as I tell him I love you.

Shinichi's point of view

Don't worry Ran I'm almost there just wait a little longer. Inspector Megure crept in front of me. "Kudo-kun everything is set. You'll be the one to give us the signal if you're ready." Megure said. "Thank you, Inspector." I said. I gathered the others as they went down the boat. "Everybody we still have one problem." I said. "You don't know what level Ran will be." Hattori said. "Then we have no choice but to interrogate a guard or soldier inside the stronghold." Hattori suggested.

"Okay, I'll just repeat that we'll enter beside the stronghold." I repeated. "Wait how will we enter with those metal gates in the way?" Takagi asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Haibara said. "No kind of" Takagi said. "They'll have an open fire and blow the gates away." I said with a grin. "Then what are we still doing here let's go!" Sato said.

"Inspector! Let's go" I shouted waving at him as a sign. "Men you heard that! Get the tanks information and start an open fire!" Megure ordered. "Inspector the blueprint has been uploaded in the computer. Guide us through the communicator. We'll be getting in place and we'll enter as sonn as the gates collapse and goes to rumble." I explained. Everybody headed to the other side of the island. Their black colour coding made a very good camouflage. They huddled up in the bushes and waited for the slightest destruction of the gates in front of us.

The silence grew upon them as they anxiously wait for every waking second that comes. A loud explosion sounded of from the other side of the island. It started everyone though. The ground was shaking because each explosion came one after another. "Kudo-kun the walls!" Sato said pointing at the wall. Visible cracks became revealed to the cement walls. The cracks became greater at numbers as every seconds goes on. We started to be ready because the walls were coming to its limit.

The walls came falling in into the ground. As planned they rushed inside as the walls came down. Everybody kept up with each other even Professor was catching up with everyone. "There's the air vent!" I pointed to the air vent in the wall. When Agasa got close to the air vent he got his screwdriver and took off the screws so we can get in the air vent. The open fire of the tanks kept continuing while the ground kept shaking because of the explosions.

I went in first because I'll lead them through where we'll exit in the air vents. The others went in one by one when I was inside the air vent. Even inside the air vent I can feel the explosions made by the tanks because the air vent was also shaking with every explosion that occurred. "It's really dark in here are you sure Kudo-kun that we can get out of here?" Takagi asked.

"Don't worry, Inspector will guide me through where I'll go." I said. "Okay then let's go." Takagi said. "Hello, Inspector?" I tested the headset. "Oh Kudo-kun everything's going as planned and the stronghold let some sharpshooters but they failed." Megure said. "Okay, now tell me how to get in the room next to the room where the untouchables are." I said through the headset.

"Based on the blueprint you just go straight then go right the time you see an intersection. After you go right the second exit is the one. There's quite a distance at the point where you turn and when you reach the second air vent exit." Megure said. "Okay thanks. I'll call you if we get lost." I said. "Okay, we'll continue to attack here and when you get her we'll come and get you then retreat." Megure said signing off. "Okay everyone behind me. I started to move while the others followed behind me.

We crawled for about ten minutes and we found the intersection. "Okay we'll turn right." I told everybody. I turned right and we crawled in a straight line while crawling the shaking still couldn't stop. I imagined what was happening outside but I didn't to see it. As we turned right I immediately saw the first vent. I crawled faster to see what was below us. When I peaked I saw that the untouchables were below us.

They were in a veranda at the side of a large room. They were in their shooting stance. It was like their waiting for us to come in. They weren't talking at all. One small noise from us might lead them to noticing us. I signaled the others to crawl quietly. I started crawling in the same direction. Quite a few minutes have passed since I've passed the first air vent exit. For walking quite a while I finally saw the second air vent exit.

Reaching it I first took a look if the cost was clear. As I looked down I saw nothing but a long narrow hallway. "Everybody, it's time to go down." I told everyone. I unscrewed the air vent door and went down in the hallway. The others followed me. "So where are we now?" Haibara said. "Wait, I'll call Inspector...Hello, Inspector?" I called out in the microphone on the headset.

"Kudo-kun, are you out of the air vent?" Megure replied. "Yes, I see an intersection right ahead of us. Where is the entrance to Level Four?" I asked. "Well judging from where you are now you're quite far away from the entrance. About the intersection turn right." Megure said. "Okay" I replied back. "Let's turn right here in the intersection." I told the others. Everybody followed me and went forward. When the intersection was in front of us we turned right. When I took one step at the right part of the intersection and it suddenly closed.

The walls surrounding us started to move on its own. When it stopped moving I looked around and saw that the intersection is gone in fact we suddenly faced a dead end with no opening except the one behind us. I froze in shock in what just what happened. "W-what just happened?" Agasa asked looking at his surroundings. "This isn't just an ordinary labyrinth." Kaito said. "It's a changing one" Kaito continued. "But we have the blueprint right?" Takagi said. "Wait, I'll look." I said. I took out the blueprint in my backpack. I looked at the blueprint and saw the letters ACS. "ACS" I said out loud. "Automatic Channelling Security" Haibara said. "So that's why it keeps changing because it knows were here." Hattori said.

"If that's the true than how are we able to get to Level Four?" Takagi asked. "Isn't it obvious? The sensing mechanism only detects if someone intrudes but it can't determine if it's a member of the organization or a real intruder." Hattori said. "Meaning there is a way for the member of the organization to get to the entrance without going through this labyrinth." Kaito said.

"If that is true how are we still able to find the trick?" Sato said. "There are two ways to find the trick. First is to scan the blueprint if there is anything suspicious and second is to spit up and really to find the entrance." Hattori said. "Hattori's right but I see nothing suspicious among the blueprints meaning we should split up and somehow find a pattern and find the exit." I said.

"We'll split into three groups of three. First group are me, Haibara and Professor. Second group Kaito, Officer Sato and James Black. Third group is Hattori, Officer Takagi, Jodie-san and Akai." I said. "Okay so our main objective is find the entrance to Level Four." Jodie said. "Not only that. When you find the entrance near there is a box. I don't know that box or anything inside it but maybe inside it is a switch that stops ACS." I said.

"So we have two main objectives. First is to find the entrance and second is to see if there is a switch that turns off ACS." Kaito said. "If ACS is turned we can now easily go to the entrance and go to Level Four." I said. "Wait how can we easily get to the entrance if you're the only one who can talk to Inspector and has the blueprint?" James said. "I was just getting there. All of us have a communicator that makes each of us able to speak with. I'll ask to locate your group in Inspector's computer and he'll tell me where you must turn then I'll tell you what he says." I explained.

"Wait why can't he just tell us the direction? If we're seen in his computer he can surely see how the walls change." Sato said. "Yes we are seen as little dots moving in his computer but the output of the walls there aren't moving meaning in the computer the little dots can pass through the walls in the computer." I explained. "So there the output there is only to see the default positions of the wall not when they change." Jodie said.

"Since everything's been planned why don't we start to split up now?" Shuuichi said. "Okay, let's go just contact anyone if someone faces trouble." I said. We started to move the opportunity to turn Hattori's group took the opportunity to turn there. "We'll turn right now don't worry I'll contact you if we find out something." Hattori said. There were two groups left. We walked a little more for us to turn." Kaito said. We took our separate ways and walked slowly. "Kudo-kun what if there is no switch to deactivate ACS?" Haibara said. "If that happens I'll handle it myself and find the trick how the members of the organization get through this labyrinth." I said.

I need to be faster or else we won't get her in time. I still don't know what level she is but I really have enough confidence in her that she too won't give up as I do because we love each other even if she doesn't know it. How do I get out of here faster? Every turn just makes it more confusing. With every second being wasted we also wastes hope. There I figured that this labyrinth isn't to make someone lost...it's to make intruder lose hope. To lose every ounce of hope they have.

Author's Note: Well that's the end hope you like it! Reviews people and by the way if there's any part you're confused put it in the reviews and I'll answer you.
