Detective Conan x OOO: Hunt For The Mystical Medals

We are now nearing the end of this arc as we are two chapters away from ending this story, and another set of lives are about to be lost while a new Core medal will go to O's while Ankh deals with uva while a new yummy is about to be spawned…

Several meters away from the beleaguered mansion, Nomura got out of the secret exit via a cave –like basement that connects underground and a visibly tired "Tokyo" leader pants for breath as she has been running non-stop for about 15 minutes. She then heads for the open road where a jeep passes by her and stops, revealing to be Okonogi and offers her a ride which she accepted. The two then make a break for safety as both knew that those trapped inside the mansion are now dead.

"Hop on!"

"Thanks!"

20: Kuraingu Higurashi no naku ,-mura no kurai himitsu, Fujun'na dōki part 10

As the jeep cruises away from the mansion, the two villains are breathing a sigh of relief after escaping from the onslaught of the Higurashi Yummies and there a bit of tension erupted which might have threatened their bid to escape death as they are still not quite far from the mansion where the massacre is still taking place, but cooler heads eventually prevailed.

"I'm surprised you escaped first and did not inform me that there was an attack right outside the mansion…"

"You're right…I would've drove straight to safety…but somehow something made me change my mind and check you out…believe me…I couldn't care less about what's happening inside the party…"

"Yet you knew I'd be coming out of the secret passage…"

"Yeah…and I'm surprised you'd managed to outrun those cicada monsters…"

"We talk further later about this…let's get away from here first so those…"bugs"…won't follow us…"

"Fine with me…"

-x-

At the lobby area, O's managed to get an opening and kicked the 3rd Higurashi Yummy back, only to find out that only two more guests are alive and are backing against the wall and saw the room is almost filled with dead bodies of the "Tokyo" members and tries to get to the 4th Yummy but then the 3rd Yummy pinned him down, and O's watches helplessly as the remaining two victims are being impaled and disemboweled.

"NNNOOO! KEEP BACK!"

"DON'T COME NEAR ME…"

"AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!"

"AAAAIIIIIIEEEEE!"

O's is shocked to see that he failed to save everyone and anger slowly filled him as he starts to fight back and uses the Kamakiri blades to get the Yummy off him and fought the monster back and managed to get an opening by jabbing the blades onto the Yummy's eyes, which blinded it and then kicks it back so he could focus on weakening the other Yummy, but he is pulled back and is being strangled to death.

"Nnnnggghhh…get…off…me…!"

Needing to put an end to this, O's broke free and stepped back to get some room and took the O-Scanner and scans the three Core Medals on his belt to use a finishing attack on the blinded Yummy.

O-Belt: "SCANNING CHARGE!"

O's energy aura envelops him as the power of the Batta and Kamakiri Medals gave him the power needed to defeat the Yummy as he jumps up and descends onto the Yummy as he slashes the monster in a cross attack which killed the Yummy, exploding and leaves nothing but several Cell Medals. He then glances at the remaining Higurashi Yummy and is ready to take the fight to the monster while taking time to regroup.

"Okay…I'm going to finish you off!"

As O's charged towards his target, the Yummy jumps up and flew around, intending to stay airborne to get some cheap shots while attacking but O's is prepared as an idea came into his head and uses the Batta Medal's power to jump high and landed onto the Yummy's back, and grabbed onto its antenna to steer and navigate his way around, which appeared to work and now he intends to use the Yummy to take him to where Ankh is and help him defeat whichever Greed is present here inside the mansion.

"Okay…I hope Ankh is okay…it'd be trouble if anything were to happen to him and the detective's body…!"

-x-

At the road leading back to Tokyo, Okonogi and Nomura are still cruising inside the jeep and are discussing about what happened several minutes ago and they are still baffled as to how this happened, until they recalled a news report about "strange monsters" appearing and they decided to wait until the next morning before they return to the mansion as they have CCTV cameras installed and there they will see what the footage can offer some information.

"You think those "bugs" will be gone when we return to the mansion tomorrow morning?"

"I hope so…I found an interesting character who might give us a clue…he seem to possess some…items…that gives him power…and we could use that "power" to help in our agendas…"

"How could you know…"

"I saw him…and once we get the CCTV footages…and saw the footages it recorded…then we plan our next move…"

"Fine then…"

-x-

At the room inside the mansion's 2nd floor, Ankh and Uva continued to stare off, neither one moving as they are waiting for one of them to make the first move so that whoever makes the first move they could make a counterattack, but their musings are interrupted when Takano is baffled as to how Ankh managed to escape Hinamizawa Village amid the townsfolk there being under the Hinamizawa Syndrome at Lv 4 and 5.

"You…Shinichi Kudo…how did you escape Hinamizawa Village unscathed? Those people I secretly injected with the Hinamizawa Syndrome…they are already in LV 4 to 5…there's no way you could have escaped un-armed…!"

"Huh?"

"Don't lie to me! I know you and your exploits, you teen detective meddler!"

"Sorry…but the one you're referring to is not awake…"

"You can't fool me!"

"Shut your tramp, you loudly human! This is me! I am Ankh! I'm a Greed that will consume you humans!"

"You think your garbage of lies can fool me?"

Intrigued at Takano's words as she referred his fellow Greed as "Shinichi Kudo", Uva scanned her thoughts and slowly learned about Shinichi's exploits and slowly learned that Shinichi may have been possessed by Ankh during the Kamakiri Yummy's attack, and then tells her that Ankh is currently possessing Shinichi's body, which Takano brushes off that claim.

"Save your tirade…he's telling you the truth…what you see is only the person's body. The monster-looking right hand you saw back then is the one that's controlling him. It is Ankh…a Greed like me."

"You…you can't be serious…!"

"Hmm…so Ankh controlling that body is said to have foiled her plans…maybe I can bend her hatred towards that human to produce a new Yummy…that way I can have Ankh caught off-guard and get my Core Medals back…"

Getting an idea, Uva secretly slots in another Cell Medal inside her and asks her what "Shinichi" did, which she replied that his actions causes her plans for the destruction of the Hinamizawa Village to collapse, and during this another whitish entity came out and with Uva pressing on, Takano's hateful desire towards Shinichi, and her desire to prove the theory of the Hinamizawa Syndrome and the village's destruction, the whitish entity is being fed on her desires and it molted into the Semikuibachi Yummy, which resembles a humanoid cicada killer. Ankh realizes this and braces himself for an assault as he knew he is still "weak" due to his incomplete body.

"Blast…! He created another Yummy! I'm still far from recovered and with me only revived as a right forearm…my powers are limited…all I have to do now is defend myself while I wait for Kyuji to arrive…! O's power is the only thing to save me from losing the Core Medals that I have…!"

By this time, O's arrived as he causes the Higurashi Yummy to crash in and then jumps off, which the Yummy crashes onto the table, and the Cell Medals were scattered, half of the full amount went to Ankh while Uva absorbs the other half of the harvested Cell Medals, powering him considerably, but to O's and Ankh's surprises, the Semikuibachi Yummy began to grab onto the Higurashi Yummy and began to eat it alive and slowly absorbed the Yummy's powers, just like the cicada killer devouring the cicada.

"Huh? That Yummy…it just devoured its fellow kind!"

"I see…a cicada killer feeds on a cicada…though it would diminish Uva's advantage as it now reduces to one Yummy…but then it would result in that Yummy to become stronger…"

With the Higurashi Yummy getting absorbed by Semikuibachi Yummy, the Yummy gained additional power and started to gain additional height and build, and began to grapple with O's which led them towards outside the room and wrestled towards the stairs leading back to the lobby area. By then the two Greeds resumed their stare-off yet neither one of them makes their move as they bid their time and looked for an opening.

"Looks like it's just the two of us now…and nobody's going to interrupt us this time…"

"Yeah…I can't wait to rake my claws on you…"

"Not before I get my Core Medals back…"

"You're welcomed to try…"

-x-

At the Kougami Foundation, Kougami snickered in delight at seeing the situation inside the mansion as the Semikuibachi Yummy is born and consumes the Higurashi Yummy, taking pleasure in watching the action while seeing the two Greeds staring off and he managed to keep his eyes glued to the monitor even though he is currently baking a cake. However, Shintaro Gotoh, who uses the Ride Vendor's camera that is connected to a pair of Taka Candroids to show the footages, asks him if he should go in and help them, which Kougami told him to stay and observe.

"Should I go in and intervene?"

"No…stay where you are and keep watching and recording the scene…I'm sure O's would prevail in the end…"

"Very well, sir…"

-x-

The scene shifts back at the room inside the mansion where Ankh is still staring off with Uva when an unexpected scene took place as Takano began to display symptoms of the Hinamizawa Syndrome, and surprisingly she now displayed the LV 5 symptoms, which Uva is distracted to see as she tore out her throat while acting very erratic until she lay on the floor bleeding to death.

"What's this…?"

"Hmm…looks like this so-called Hinamizawa Syndrome has taken its toll on her…it seems that someone must've injected this drug on her by secret…and it seems that the early symptoms may have been repressed when I made her spawned the Yummies…and the symptoms became apparent once it reached its maximum stage…well…fine with me…I have no more use for her…"

Uva realized that the symptoms have been repressed when he used her to spawn his yummies, and with the insect-themed Greed distracted, Ankh recalled the devices that Professor Agasa supplied to him:

- the wristwatch that is able to shoot a tranquilizer dart and act as a flashlight.

- the special shoes that Ankh is wearing which is able to enhance his kicking power to superhuman levels; enabling him to kick objects at culprits. It has also been shown to be useful with breaking objects or jumping.

- A pair of multipurpose computerized glasses, which can be replaced with bulletproof lenses allowing Conan to track down objects, listen in on conversations, zoom into targets, and gain infrared vision.

"Good…with Uva distracted, this is my chance to steal his Core Medals…but what should I do…? Which devices should I use to get his Core Medals…ah! I know what to do!"

Ankh thought carefully on making his next move and decided which device he should use. Using the glasses in conjunction with his Greed ability, he is able to locate the Core Medals within Uva's body and then saw a fallen globe where the world map is engraved, and getting an idea, he uses the shoes to increase his kicking power and kicked the globe onto his fellow Greed, and surprisingly Uva was staggered and stunned, which Ankh's monster hand form unleashed himself from Shinichi's body and went straight for Uva's gut, raking his way through and managed to grab onto one of the Greed's Core Medal and backed away.

"Aaaarrggghh! Ankh, you bastard! What…did you…do to…me…?"

As Ankh reattaches himself to Shinichi's body, he glances at what he is holding, smirking at the Core Medal he took: the Kabuto Medal.

To Be Continued…

Looks like all of the antagonists from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni are out of the picture now…with Miyo Takano dies from succumbing to the Hinamizawa Syndrome while Okonogi and Nomura escaped with their lives while the "Tokyo" members are killed off by Uva's Yummies. With two more chapters left, this arc is coming to a close.

Another reference to Detective Conan is shown here, with Ankh using Shinichi Kudo's devices to help him get the best over Uva, which he used the "glasses" and "shoes", yet he did not used the wristwatch which Conan is known for using it on certain cases, but the Greed will soon use them when the time comes…

Preview:

The final battle shifts back to Hinamizawa Village as Ankh and O's deals with the remaining Yummies and there the villagers' fates will be decided, and there it will show what the epilogue will be like in chapter 22….
