Chapter 1: First Attack
Conan walked towards the dead-end wide alley, then a shadow casted over him, with a lert he turned around, and met what he had seek, what he had been looking for,
"Gotcha…." It said with a raspy, creepy voice, then it raised its left hand, then wield it towards him, Conan tried to move but couldn't his muscles were frozen, even if he could, it was like in a blink of an eye, he felt his skin being torn apart, he felt the said claws deepen inside him, he thought that he'd just fall down but there was a sudden force that made him flew all the way to the alley's wall, he could've sworn that his spinal column broke when he hit the wall, he fell to the ground on his side, he couldn't move, but he could see them, though his vision blurred, and with his almost deaf ears, all he knew was that someone told him to hang in there, and three shadows jumping from building roof to another, he knew the monster escaped, but then it wasn't much time when he was sucked into darkness….
(On S.E cast's side…)
[Maka's POV]
We finally found the boy, but a mysterious evil being got ahead of us and attacked him, there were adults, the mysterious evil being made it's escape, I looked at the lost meister/weapon, but cleared my mind deciding the decision, I started to follow the being's steps,
"Oi, Maka….is that okay?" Soul asked, I nodded, Kid, and Black Star followed my lead, as we follow the thing, no matter what that was, it is dangerous…
(Later on)
(Hospital)
[Normal POV]
Ran and the others waited outside of the Operating room, Hakase who had heard the news immediately rushed to the hospital, everyone waited patiently, well almost everyone.
Kogorou frequently tapped his right tip toe shoe with high speed, frequently glancing around, to the room, to his watch and at everyone, he was badly worried for the latter, he did his best for the boy to not to be involved but it turns out that he is that thing's first victim in Tokyo, and has 50% of surviving, he waited impatiently, 'somehow the kids did had a common in glasses, but why did the killer chose such age,I could have sworn that that thing whispered to Conan before attacking, the only who knows that is the one who got injured himself, the victim, Edogawa Conan, but then why did the criminal chose such specific age, why the appearance, but more importantly the scene looked like as if it was predicted, as if the monster knew from the beginning, the monster was able to attack the lad while they were chasing him, clearly he was targeting Conan seeing he paid the agency a visit before heading off with such incredible speed, was it coincidence? When the monster made turns he even stopped for a bit to see if we would catch up, then continue, but the only thing that made me wonder, was that as if he expected them to be there, we tried to stop him seeing Conan was just right in front turning to an alley with deep in thought, but with that thing's speed, it was impossible, but that thing could've just use its speed to lose is, but why did it stop to wait for us to catch up? Was he expecting us to witness it? Was it the end of his crimes? Or was it just beginning,' Kogorou thought as he gathered the incident, Megure, Takagi, and Satou looked pale like a ghost, though they probably couldn't believe that thing, with all the silence and everyone's worrying, the room's sing board's light turned off, meaning the operation has finished, the door opened, and Conan was now being dragged on the trolley to another room, Ran stood up, no everyone did, with relief that the kid is still alive, everyone looked at each other, then nodded, then started to follow, when they got there,
"This is the police, we will be staying here overnight…" Megure said,
"But…" the doctor tried to complain but was immediately stopped,
"He's targeted by that famous serial killer on the lose! And that thing make sure that no one livers once he has slaughter them, if he knows that he is still alive he would come after him!" Megure yelled at the now sweatdropping doctor, who gave up and agreed and told some nurse to prepare some futons…..and did the new ordered job anxiety, while they wait outside, a girl around the same age as Conan, also wearing glasses, though round ones, with long brown braided hair, green eyes, wearing a yellow scarf, pink top, orange shorts and brown shoes, pulled Kogorou's palm, Kogorou flinched then faced her,
"WHA!" Kogorou wanted to yell but as he faced her that she was also wearing glasses his tone dropped, "What is it?" he asked more gentle, the girl looked inside the room smiling,
"Say, Ojiisan, was he attacked by the boogey man?" the girl asked,
"Boogey Man?" Kogorou repeated,
"Hm!" she nodded, " the Boogey Man, the man who goes around town and slaughter's children with glasses for fun, the one who has long claws and white hair!" the girl chirped everyone paled at the child's behavior, no kid other than Conan has acted like that, she talked like she wasn't worried at all,
"Wh-Where did you?" Kogorou tried to ask,
"Hear such thing?" she finished all nodded, "Some onee-san told me about it! Now, I'll be going!" with that she waved and run to the direction she came from, when she was out of sight,
"Creepy…" Ayumi chilled,
"Hmm…" Genta agreed,
"Anyway you kids need to go home…" Agasa said,
"EHH?!" th three complained, Agasa promt to open his mouth but shut it when the kids started to yell,
"No way!" Ayumi screamed,
"We're not leaving this place until, Conan-kun gets better!" Mitsuhiko backed up,
"That's right, as Shounan Tantei Dan, we won't leave our member in danger!" Genta added,
"We'll protect him at all cost!" all three synced,
"But you guys…" Agasa tried to get them calm,
"It's always Conan-kun…." Ayumi whimpered, with teary eyes,
"Huh?"
"It's always Conan-kun that is protecting us…" Ayumi continued,
"Yeah, it's always Conan-kun who gets hurt that badly," Mitsuhiko followed,
"Yeah, even though he has the credit, but as long as he is safe….but it's always him in danger…" Genta pushed further,
"Well, he is a stubborn kid who wants to protect everyone even if it endangers his own.." Haibara added now smirking,
"Ai-kun! But you guys need to go home, your parents will be worried of you!" Agasa said,
"That's the thing! It's always Conan-kun in danger!" Ayumi yelled,
"Conan-kun, doesn't even have his parent here to know how he is doing since their working overseas!" Mitsuhiko added,
"That's why we want to stand by him as our friend!" Genta added, now everyone was amazed by their rants,
"It' our turn to protect him now!" the three synced, Agasa was about to say that they can stay, but is interrupted,
"Taku, you guys talk like I'm dead or something…" they heard an annoyed voice, all turned around to see a rather annoyed Conan already sitting up, "But thank you…" he said, Haibara smirked,
"Well, your awake…" Haibara said,
"Huh? I have been awake the whole time, while I was at the ambulance, though I couldn't open my eyes though I could hear your voices…" Conan replied,
"EHH?! Even during the operation?!" the three kids questioned, he nodded also making the adults and Ran gape like a fish, but sighed knowing that he was injected with an anesthesia, Conan stretched his arms,
"Doesn't it hurt?" Mitsuhiko asked,
"What does?" Conan asked not getting what the one meant,
"The wound, I think you shouldn't move too much" Mitsuhiko replied,
"Well, he does have a point Conan-kun, the wound was pretty bad, so don't move that much…." Megure said, "But we need to find that girl,"
"Girl?" Conan repeated, Megure nodded,
"The girl who also wore glasses, we need all kids around your age be guarded," Megure said,
"But do you really think that that is possible?" Conan scoffed, "With that thing's strength I don't know….."
"Conan-kun…" Ran muttered,
"But I don't think that there are more targets…" Conan said, this caught everyone's attention,
"What do you mena?" Kogorou asked,
"Because when it approached me it said 'Gotcha' before it attacked.." Conan answered, thinking for a second, "as if he was searching for me to begin with," Conan continued,
"Then if that's what you think…" Kogorou said,
"Then it will surely come back for you…" Megure finished,
"Keibu, we couldn't find the girl anywhere…" Takagi said, also Satou nodding next to him,
"Well, we won't be needing that seeing that that man's target is really Conan-kun, Megure said,
"A man? I don't think that that guy was a human at all, with that monstrous strength, and speed, it's something that almost defies logic…" Conan muttered, thinking deeply, not noticing the attention their giving him, "But do guard some just in case…" Conan said,
"Why is that? It said 'Gotcha' to you didn't it? So, why?" Kogorou asked,
"We still don't know some of the victims died and he seems to whisper it seeing you guys didn't hear it, so he might have said it to the other victims…." Conan said,
"Now you got the point," Megure said, now everyone was shocked and completely focused on Conan, Conan realizing what he just did, but on his child façade, and started to scratch the back of his head,
"Hahahah! Or so I think! Hehehe…they almost always mention those stuffs in the books with Supernatural on it!" Conan chirped an excuse, all sweatdropped but bought it except for Hakase and Haibara of course, 'That was close…' Conan though sighing, then everyone changed the topic as their futons were spread out, they talked till all of them fell asleep,
(Next Day)
Everyone started to fold and get themselves ready for the big day, or so another day with a case….yet the kids were picked up, Takagi and Satou were outside to buy some breakfast for everyone, all there's left were Agasa, Haibara, Megure, Kogorou, Ran, and Conan, (if you're going to say if they won't fit, well, let's just say it was a private room, and here in my home town private rooms are pretty spacey, so just go along with it)
Then they heard a light knock from the door, they opened it revealing the girl from last night, though she wore a red santa like dress without the white fur, she smiled widely at them, revealing a girl wearing a black trench coat, a uniform like the summer, but red skirt, green tie, green eyes and has blonde hair, tied into a pigtails, she was also smiling behind her were another 6 youngsters behind her,
"This was the one-san I had been talking about…" the girl moved aside to let the other 6 come in, "I hope you don't mind…." The blonde girl went near Conan and stretched her hand,
"My name is Maka, Maka Albarn" Conan shook it,
"Edogawa Conan…"
"I'm Soul, Soul Eater" Soul pointed at himself using his thumb,
"Call me Black Star, kiddo…" Black Star tried to act cool,
"Tsubaki Natsukasa" Tsubaki bowed,
"Death the Kid…." (imagine the DC cast's reaction….)
"Liz and…"
"Patty Thompson…" the twins introduced, Conan blinked,
"And I am Makino! Emimiya Makino! Pleased to meet you Conan-kun!" the girl, Makino chirped, Conan nodded,
"Umm, is it true that the said Boogey Man attacked you, bo-er Conan-kun?"Maka asked, Conan nodded,(as I've said he was semi-conscious all the time expect after when he was attacked only from the ambulance)
"Hmm….well, your tough to survive that blow…" Black Star commented, Soul and Maka glared at him,
"Have you forgotten? That he's a-" Soul tried to say why they were there/something, but Maka elbowed his gut, Conan blink,
'What was he trying to say?' Conan thought looking at them, raising a brow,
"Hmm? What's wrong Maka? Shouldn't we just tell him what that thing is, and why is it after hi-" Black Star also tried to continue what Soul was trying to say in a different way, but also got elbowed in the gut by Maka, Tsubaki just sweatdropped,
"Well, he is the one that Stein-sensei said!" Patty said cheerfully, Maka, Liz and Tsubaki almost fell to the floor, Kid looking around, somewhat thinking of something, then faced Conan and saw the hairstyle, Kid's eyebrow twitched,
"Not symmetrical…" he muttered everyone with quizzically faces faced him, Maka, and her other companions sweatdropped, Kid approached Conan, "Why is your hair designed like that?!" he demanded, everyone blinked(except for the S.E cast, and Makino) Conan blinked dots,
"Ummm….."
"It's not symmetrical at all! The cowlick on your head and the cowlick on your neck isn't symmetrical at all!" Kid said paling a bit blue,
'Is this guy for real?' Conan thought, "But this hairstyle has been with me since birth….." Conan said rather confused of the youngster's complaint,
"I do appreciate the glasses, but we need to cut that tails of yours….." Kid commented,
"Maka….CHOP!" in a blink Kid was lying on the floor with a big bump on his head, Maka(who has been assigned to be the group leader,) carrying a book on one hand and just regained a posture from the CHOP attack, (Now I've been wondering, where did Maka keep the book, it just seems to come out of nowhere…)
"Anywho….." Maka tried to change the topic from Conan's involvement to get to know Conan better, but got interrupted by their mission's target,
"Say, do you know why that Boogey Man was after me?" Conan asked, 'Great now that question seemed too childish…..' Conan's eyebrow twitched annoyed by his own question, Maka blinked then looked at the other people with Conan, she sighed,
"Soul…." She said,
"Roger," Soul moved back and shut the door and locked it, everyone was confused but let it be,
"Conan-kun, have you lost a memory as a child? Or when you were younger than that?" Maka asked, Conan blinked, now he wasn't sure, but shook his head, "What did you feel when that Boogey Man approached you?" Maka asked, now getting serious, as Kid regained his posture also standing calmly as if nothing had happened, only looking at Conan in the eye,
"Hmm? Well, aside from getting scratched by that thing, nothing…." Conan answered,
"Are you sure, nothing? Not even something you hear, feel, or thought?" Maka said, now in a deeper tone, Conan thought for a moment,
'Why do I feel like being question the way around?' Conan though but shrugged it, "Nothing special, just a jingle of metal chains that is said to be heard whenever the criminal is close"
"Really?" Maka repeated,
'Did I miss something?' Conan shut his eye trying to remember what he had missed, what he hadn't notice….
-Flashback-
*Jingling of metal chains being drag*
Conan faced the dead-end alley and took a step toward it,
'No! Don't move away from the others!' a soft, and low voice whispered more like shouted in his thoughts, but he didn't listen and took another step, when the shadow casted over him he turned around to greet the thing, then 'suscípiet!' the voice screamed, now Conan was sure of it, why he felt less pain….
-End of Flashback-
"suscípiet…" Conan muttered, this caught Maka's attention, "A voice said it inside my head, when that thing was about to attack me….."
"suscípiet?" Maka repeated Conan nodded, Maka thought for a second,
"It's Latin…" Conan said, everyone looked at him, "It means…."
"Protect…" Haibara finished,
"Do you think you can call out to that voice again?" Maka asked, Conan blinked,
"Why?"
"Just do it…"
"You didn't answer my question earlier…" with this Maka sighed and stretched her arm to the side as if trying to grab something in thin air, Soul knew what it meant, then transformed into a scythe and went to Maka's grip, Maka held him professionally,
"This is why…" Maka said, everyone(the DC cast of course) were taken back to see a lad transform into a weapon, "That thing was after you because you can transform into a weapon…" Maka said,
"But not any ordinary weapon, a weapon that hold such great power anyone who obtains its strength by killing the vessel, they'll become invisible…" Makino continued,
"We were sent from another world to protect you…" Kid continued,
"But you could also lie and kill him afterwards to obtain it…" Haibara said smirking which made everyone blink dots, and felt a shiver running up and down their spines,
"Ummm…..we won't because the power has side-effects…" Maka said,
"Side-effects?" Conan repeated, now everyone regained their pace,
"Yeah, the side-effects, we can't handle the side-effects, since it would be a self-destruction, it's like you've been burn from inside…" Maka said,
'Wait, isn't that the usual side-effects of Apoptoxin4869?' Conan thought, 'Conan-kun, have you lost a memory as a child? Or when you were younger than that?' the words echoed, 'Now that I think about it, some of my memories as Shinichi are disappearing these days….could it be?' Conan's train of thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Maka who continued to explain,
"And that is really something normal meisters or weapons can't handle…."
"Say, why do I have it? And what do you mean by vessel?" Conan asked,
"That is something we're checking out right now, and by vessel, it means that you didn't have that thing inside of you from birth, meaning it came to you after its previous vessel, it chooses it's vessels on its own and it actually just exist in the world where we came from but it seems that some of them got lost and end up here, Makino-chan here is also one of the vessels, and you are also one, but the power inside of you has yet been explained to us," Maka said,
"Well, I heard from chichiue that those things are called 'ghoul', he said that those are extremely dangerous….." Kid said, Conan blinked,
"So, your saying that the ghoul inside of me just picked me as its next vessel?" Conan asked, all of the new guests nodded,
"Now, we know why everywhere our Tantei goes dead bodies fall from the sky…" Haibara mocked, Conan glared at her,
"Ohh….really, dead bodies here fall from the sky?" Black Star and Soul, who transformed back into his human form after the comment, asked eyes twinkling,
"Well, not literally but just drop dead around it seems that wherever he goes death follows…" Haibara replied, Megure, and Kogorou somewhat deep in thought, Ran, and Tusbaki seatdropping, Patty just playing in the corner folding origami, while crushing them afterwards, Maka confused, Conan annoyed, Kid of to who-knows-where-just-to-get-everything-symmetrical , and Black Star and Soul who still had the twinkling eyes,
"Oh, may I ask why do you keep the window shutter shut?" Liz asked,
"That's because….we were worried if that thing was going to find and attack Conan-kun again," Ran answered,
"Then let it come here so we could kick that things butt!" Soul said after regaining his pace from the twinkling eyes,
"Yeah, then you'll see how cool I am!" Black Star agreed, who immediately run towards one window and pulled the string that made the shutter open, and as if on cue, a woman fell from the sky all the way down to the cement floor, everyone froze, unable to think,
"See? Dead bodies do fall from the sky…" Haibara said smirking towards Conan, who gave her a glare, Maka who looked at Conan with mild-confusion and mild-suspicion.
With that everyone rushed to the scene, Conan on the wheel chair which is pushed by Ran, when they got there, the scene was horrible, the woman's skull was completely crushed cause by falling from the roof, which is 80 floors, but there was a blue orb floating in the middle, just then the same said boogey man jumped from the roof and land safely at the ground which people began to evacuate only Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, Patty, Makino, Ran, Megure, Haibara, Agasa, Kogorou and Conan, who remained, the boogey man faced their direction, smiling wildly, then he took the blue orb and ate it,
"I shall take yours…..Ghoul….." the boogey man said,
"Soul…." Maka ordered, then all weapons, but Makino/Conan transformed then went to their respective meisters, then the Boogey man tried to lay a claw at Conan but was forced to back up by Maka who wield Soul at him, he smirked,
"Interesting…" he muttered, as he tried another assault only to be shot at the shoulder by Kid, who is glaring at him, then a chained scythe grazed the other, he smirked at the seven(both meisters and weapons) they fought for a while all attacks coming in pattern(Maka, then Kid, then Black Star) then he opened his mouth then a strong wind gushed out making everyone but Conan blown to the wall, satisfied he shut it and approached Conan,
"Why you…" Maka hissed getting up also picking Soul up, but she was shaking,
"Maka could that wind be?" Soul asked,
"Yeah, it messed up our nerve system temporarily though it will return shortly…." Maka replied, slightly annoyed seeing she couldn't stand up right,
Conan glared at the monster, who just put the claws at his chest and a violet light was emitted, then the claw went through, Conan screamed, then a light red orb was pulled out, Conan panted, Maka and the whole group where shocked to see it happen, then the boogey man ate it, grinning like a maniac who got a home run, Conan smirked, now getting up on his own, still panting and breathing heavily, his eyes glow red, then
"exitium…" he yelled softly, then the boogey man's laughs turned to chokes, then heavy breathing, then scream of pain, then he glowed bright red then brighter and brighter and finally blew with nothing remaining but a bigger red orb, then it flew back to Conan and went inside him, the Conan passed out…..
