I promise I'll take your comments and suggestions into consideration if you need to tell me if my fic need some improvements or corrections.
With the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni arc has ended, we're going back to the usual Detective Conan story as our heroes return to Tokyo and are now gearing up as the other Greed are about to make their move to cause trouble while searching for their medals, and the Black Organization returns, where you will see what the villain group of DC (aka Detective Conan) is doing during the events of the last arc.
And lastly, another anime character from another series is shown here as the "latest victim" in this new arc and this is where this arc's problem comes in as the story will show you the conflict between Kyuji and Ankh, with Shinichi Kudo's body still on the line.
In the previous arc...a few things have happened...
O - The Greed named Mezuru discovered Miyo Takano's files and about her desire to destroy the reclusive Hinamizawa Village and secretly followed her there, and uses three teenagers as hosts to spawn her Yummies, which have hid itselves at the village; Ankh and Kyuji went there as well after sensing the Yummies' presence while being urged by Shiho Miyano after her informant tells her about an enigmatic group planning to destroy the village.
O - Upon arrival both Ankh and Kyuji are greted by Mezuru's Yummies after the desires of Keiichi Maebara, Rena Ryugu and Shion Sonozaki have reached its peak and are forced to fight them. The two are also forced to fight the three tenagers and slowly learned about the mysterious "Tokyo" and through ankh's method, they learned about the "Hinamizawa Syndrome" and that Miyo Takano's motives in planning to use the syndrome to destroy the village.
O - Uva shows up and uses Miyo Takano's desire to spawn several Yummies to fight Ankh and O's at the secret meeting place of "Tokyo"while the insect-themed Greed loses a Core Medal to Ankh; O's succeeded in defeating the Yummies and saved the village, only to learn a few days later that "Tokyo" went on to carry out Hinamizawa's destruction.
A few weeks after the aftermath of the Hinamizawa Village's destruction, the scene shifts one evening at an unspecified location somewhere within Japan, which houses the secret hideout of the elusive Black Organization, where Vermouth arrived who is being followed by a large, trailer truck which appeared to have contained some smuggled goods.
However, once the goods are unloaded, it turns out that the contents are not smuggled goods, but stolen ones. Gin and Vodka, along with some "technical support" goons, came out of the trailer truck, unloading several motorcycles towards the garage areas (about 20 of them) and there they pressed a button, which transformed them into vending machines. The stolen goods turn out to be the Ride Vendors that belonged to the Kougami Foundation, and they somewhat managed to steal them without problem.
Vodka: "Okay…where should we put them…?"
Gin: "Right there…we're inside the garage area…you two…did you make sure you jammed these goods' frequencies?"
Tech support goon # 1: "We did…and we assure you no one will track these goods down…"
Tech support goon # 2: "In a few minutes we will be able to jam the frequencies of these cans…"
Tech support goon # 3: "the moment we jam their frequencies…we will be able to alter the circuitries of these Candroids…"
Tech support goon # 4: "But it would take about les than a week to work on the first vending machine…"
Tech support goon # 5: "At least we can make use of them once they are under our control…"

About 30 minutes later someone came to the hideout, and it turn out to be Bourbon, and he is smirking at the progress as the Black Organization's "tech support" force are toggling with the Ride Vendors and its "Candroids" without problem, while the scene shifts to the other side of the room where 15 more Ride Vendors are stored, and they too appeared to have been stolen. The "anonymous leader" of the Black organization then appeared on a monitor and "spoke" to Vermouth and Bourbon using a text message to "congratulate" them on their successful venture.
"WELL DONE, VERMOUTH AND BOURBON…YOU CONTRIBUTION TO MY ORGANIZATION HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY VALUABLE…AND THANKS TO YOU…WE CAN MAKE USE OF THESE VENDING MACHINES AND ITS CANDROIDS TO HELP IN CARRYING OUT OUR OPERATIONS…BE IT ROBBING BANKS OR CARRY OUT ASSASSINATION WORK…ONCE WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH…WE WILL BEGIN CARRYING OUT THE TASKS I ASSIGNED TO YOU…"
"Thank you, boss…but all the credit should go to Vermouth…it was her who showed to us these babies…and then it was her idea that we infiltrate the Kougami Foundation…it was a real breakout plan she made and this really gave us the inspiration to do our work…"
"Please, Bourbon…you're making me blush…"
"You deserved it, my dear…"
It is then revealed that the stealing of the Ride Vendors from the Kougami Foundation was done in secret and it all stemmed back to the point when Kyuji and Ankh went to Hinamizawa Village after the latter has sensed the Greeds' aura, which she followed them, but a few days before that, she managed to steal a Ride Vendor and managed to place a jamming device to prevent the machine's signal to be picked up by the Kougami Foundation so she is able to bring it to the BO's HQ and there she showed it to the others what the Ride Vendors' capabilities are, and told the others that to steal one without arousing problem, they need to create jamming devices so that the Kougami Foundation won't be alerted by the theft.
Bourbon, intrigued, asked Vermouth about how to operate it and she replied by showing him the Cell Medal and how it is being used to activate the machine, or summon a Candroid. Then she suggested that one of the BO members might try to apply at the Kougami Foundation so that they could infiltrate and get some knowledge from the company so that they can familiarize him/herself in the fields and there they can make off with the Ride Vendors, its Candroids and whatever latest devices they could lay their hands on.
With that in mind, Bourbon decided to risk it by assuming an alias and made a fictional background on his resume so as to cover his true identity. Surprisingly, he was hired by the Kougami Foundation and is assigned to the technical staff department, which ironically, puts him in charge of maintenance of the Ride Vendors, thus giving him direct access and there he can safely put a jamming device on selected machines so he could sneak it out without arousing suspicions or alarms.
Likewise, Vermouth did the same, and is also hired and placed on the encoding department which allows her to secretly peek at the records department, though she find little useful information yet she is fine with it as she can move about inside the foundation without drawing attention or suspicion. Their efforts paid off and in less than a few weeks they have pilfered 35 Ride Vendors and now they have enough weapons to help carry out their operations.

The next morning, tension mounts at the secret hideout of the four enigmatic entities, the Greed. Uva, in his Greed form, is being restrained by Gameru as Kazari, in his human guise, once more taunted his fellow Greed as he finds pleasure in poking fun at his hot-headed comrade. Ever since last week, Uva returned and is slightly weakened after losing the Kabuto Medal to Ankh and Mezuru volunteered to give the insect-themed Greed some of her Cell Medals to help him heal his injuries, and Kazari chided him for his "overconfidence", yet the female Greed persuaded the two to stop their taunting.
Now, Kazari decided to have another shot and Uva is ready to strike the feline Greed but the heavy animal-themed Greed grappled onto Uva, urging him to calm down, albeit in a childish manner, much to Uva's chagrin, seeing that he is being restrained by a "spoiled" Greed.
Uva: "You piece of shit! When I get my hands on you I'll slice and dice you until you're reduced to Cell Medals!"
Gameru: "Uva not get mad! Uva not get mad! Or else Uva gets heart attack!"
Kazari (in human form): "Gameru's right…keep calm so I can come up with another tease as you look so cute when you get mad…I could see your antenna getting red all over…"
Uva: "WHAT WAS THAT, FURBALL? YOU WANT TO DIE RIGHT NOW?"
Gameru: "Uva not get mad…or else his head explode…"
Uva: "WILL YOU LET GO OF ME?"
Kazari (in human form): "He-he-he…"
By then, Mezuru arrived and changes into her Greed form and raises her hand, threatening to use her powers on the two warring Greeds if they don't stop their actions. Uva stopped his ranting and there Gameru slowly let go of his hold while Kazari stretched his arms while backing away, so as not to provoke her to use her hydraulic powers on him, even though he would like to see Uva get drenched if given the right opportunity to see this happen.
Mezuru: "Good…now enough of this…Kazari…please refrain from making fun of Uva…as much as it may sound bad…we need to stick together if we are to get our Core Medals back. Uva…please calm down…you'll get your Cell Medals back sooner than you think."
Uva: "Fine."
Kazari: "As you wish…"
Needing to cool things off, Mezuru asked Uva how things went well at Hinamizawa Village which he told her about what he did there and she is somewhat impressed at the fact that Uva managed to create about 15 Yummies that came from a single host though Kazari chided him for creating a second Yummy which became predator to the first ones his fellow Greed spawned, and then mocked him for losing the Cell Medals to Ankh, as well as losing the Kabuto Medal which he added that with the Kamakiri and Batta Medals now in O's possession, he remarked that Uva will lose more if he gets more careless.
Mezuru: "Very impressive…with the right approach we could use that method once we get O's into a trap…"
Kazari: "Too bad he let his guard down…he created a 2nd Yummy which ate away the first batch that Uva made…that really crushed his chances of beating up Ankh…and what's even ironic…not only did he loses his two Medals…he allowed himself to lose his 3rd Core Medal to Ankh…very careless like a brainless bug that he is…"
Uva: "THAT'S IT…I'M GOING TO WASTE YOU! BETTER YET…I'LL SKIN OFF THAT FUR OFF YOUR BODY, YOU FELINE FREAK!"
Uva loses his cool again while Kazari stood still yet he assumed his Greed form in self-defense, but Mezuru steps in between and ordered both her comrades to stop, which the insectoid- Greed reluctantly did so, while Kazari assumes his human guise and puts on a cap as he prepares to leave the "hideout" and goes to the city of Tokyo. As Mezuru asks him what he intends to do, Kazari replied by stating that he is going to "try his luck". He took his leave as Mezuru, Uva and Gameru now stood inside and await what the feline Greed would tell them once he return.
-x-
Several minutes later, Kazari is traveling in the streets of Tokyo, walking among the humans and he is pleased that he can move freely without problems and he is definitely sure that humanity has changed since 800 years ago and decided to adapt more to his surroundings so as to learn more about the current era while at the same time he searches for a suitable human so as to use him/her to spawn his own Yummy.
"Hmm…humanity has indeed changed…and now I need to adapt to my surroundings if I am to gain something here…"
As he passes by a park, he sensed a strong desire and is able to sense where it came from. It came from Ran Mori, who is mentally wishing that Shinichi would call her or show up as she misses him a lot, as she has fallen for him since the early activities of the Black Organization, and when Conan shows up following Shinichi's "disappearance".
"Oh, Shinichi…please call me…I really missed you…where are you at this time…?"
Kazari smirked as he deems her a "perfect" candidate to use his Cell Medal to make a Yummy out of her desire and is about to do so when someone else came, and it turn out to be her dad, Kogoro.
"Ran! Sorry I'm late…please don't get upset…"
"Oh, hi daddy! I'm not upset at you…"
"Then who is upsetting you…?"
"Well…"
As the father and daughter leaves the park, the Greed is tempted to follow her but then a quartet of high school girls passed by and he senses that one of them has a stronger desire and he decided to follow them instead, feeling that he might have better luck in making a strong Yummy if he finds the right one among the four. He then gives the four girls a head start and then follows them stealthily so as not to alarm them while trying to discern which one of them has a strong desire, strong enough to spawn a Yummy.
"Hmm…looks like my luck is coming at me…I'd better keep my distance as to not alarm them…I can sense a strong desire from one of them…if I could discern which one of them has a very strong desire…then I'll make a Yummy from one of them…what a lucky day. Too bad Uva blew up his chances…and Mezuru made a bad move leaving that village for Uva to pick up…at least no one is going to mess up my plans…"
-x-
Somewhere in Europe, the scene shifts to a place near the seaside of Murmansk in Russia, where Kaito Kuroba, aka the Phantom Thief, is running away from his pursuers, who are mercenaries and hunting dogs, as he is running off with a medium-sized chest which contained "unearthed coins" which was dug by the diggers working for Charsu Munutsu. As it turns out, Munutsu stole a map from an elderly Japanese man named Karu Furedurikuse, who wished to travel to Europe to find a "hidden treasure" in hopes of using it to convert them into money to replenish his savings as it was depleted due to "hard times" but Munutsu had his men stole it from him and now he succeeded in finding it.
Having learned of this incident after coming into contact with Furedurikuse, and after learning the story, Kaito followed Munutsu toRussiato steal the chest and bring it to its original treasure hunter and managed to get a head start after pouring pepper which temporarily impairs the dogs' senses as well as making them sneeze. Hiding on a very high tree, Kaito checks on the chest's contents which he finds it strange: it contains about 50 silver coin-like items and a red-colored one, which appeared to be Cell Medals, and the red one which has a symbol of a cassowary bird, indicating that it is a Core Medal.
"Hmm…I doubt these can be passed off as silver coins…and I doubt this can be traded for money at the foreign exchange banks…guess I'll hold on to these so I can make a research on these items…right now I should take care of those goons…the peeper I'd poured on those dogs should wear off by now…and I can't afford to get caught or shot…"
After some 15 minutes, the goons and the dogs resumed their search and finally found the chest, which they find it sealed and assumed that it has not been opened. They then returned to St. Petersburg where Munutsu is waiting and is rubbing his hands as he is excited to get his hands on the "treasure" while ripping off the map he stole from Furedurikuse, proclaiming that he is now rich.
"Ha-ha-ha…I'm rich…filthy rich…poor Furedurikuse…he'll be confined to the Home Of The elderly as he'll be a destitute old man for the rest of his life while I'll be living the life of a millionaire…! Ah…ladies by my side…I'll turn my house into a villa…partying all week…I can't wait to return toJapan…I've waited all my life to be a super-rich millionaire!"
Opening the chest, he finds the "sliver coins" and is basking the glory until one of his men notices that the coins smelled like sweets. They soon learn that the "silver coins" are actually chocolates and the elderly man is seething in anger until he collapsed on the floor, as he suffered a heart attack. His men rushed him towards a nearby hospital where he went into a coma.
-x-
Somewhere in Russia, Kaito went to a hotel where Furedurikuse is patiently waiting as it revealed that Kaito accompanied the elderly man with him and had him wait here so he can deliver the "treasure" meant for him and when Kaito arrives, he brought the chest, which he places about 500,000 dollats in Russian currency (in Ruble and in paper money) and told him that he exchanged them at a money changer, telling him that it's the safest way for him to deliver the "treasure".
"I…I don't know how to thank you…"
"Thank me by living a normal life…use the money to start a new life…in a legal way…this is a one-time chance for you to live freely and peacefully."
"Thank you, lad…may Kami-sama bless you…"
"I already have been…"
Kaito then arranges for Furedurikuse to fly back toJapanand uses the money to convert the Ruble money to Yen so he can use the money to start over and Furedurikuse can live his life normally without having financial troubles, which the elderly man intends to use the money to start a small-time business. As Kaito watches the plane leave, he then uses his one of many aliases to travel back to Japan, wondering what to do with the Cell Medals and the red Core Medal he has in his possessions, until he overheard a conversation between two Japanese teens and saw him holding a camera and a film while talking to his friend, bragging about the Greed and O's, which Kaito saw the picture where O's is putting on one of his Core Medals.
"Hmm…that's interesting…huh? Those coin-like items on that belt…they resemble the one that I have…!"
He then overheard the teen bragging about a teen wearing a "glove" and showed it to his friend the pictures of Shinichi, in his normal for and while in possession of Ankh, and there he glances at the Core medal he is holding and then heard that the teen plans to head back to Japan to sell his picture to a newspaper company to get a lot of Yen, thus he'll be "propelled" to popularity. However, Kaito has other ideas in mind, especially where Shinichi Kudo is concerned.
"Shinichi Kudo…so he has regained his original body…but…that glove…it possesses him…? Hmm…guess I now have a reason to pop out in Tokyo again…I wonder if he no longer becomes Conan Edogawa…?"
Since Kaito considered Shinichi his rival, and not wanting to have his "rival" exposed knowing his predicament with the Black Organization, he seizes the opportunity to approach the bragging teen and secretly swapped the fake film and pictures with the real one, as the film and pictures are hidden inside a belt bag. Kaito then left while the teen is unaware that his belt bag has been swapped.
"Sorry, kid…if those pictures get published…then you'll indirectly cause homicide since it would mean Shinichi Kudo will get exposed and the Black Organization will go after him and his loved ones…so it's best that I hold on to the films and pictures…and study them…then I'll confront HIM to see if he is still Shinichi Kudo…or if someone that resembled him…"
To Be Continued…
Hope you liked the treat I gave you…with some fun-loaded giveaways:
- The Black Organization making a move…
- The Phantom Thief makes an appearance and surprisingly takes possession of a Core medal and some Cell Medals. This means that he'll get into conflict with O's, Ankh and the Greed.
- The persons, Charsu Munutsu and Karu Furedurikuse, are based on the two characters, Charles Muntz and Carl Fredricksen from the 2009 Disney film, "Up". I used them as plot devices to justify Kaito Kuroba's appearance in this chapter.
- Ran Mori appeared again, along with her dad, Kogoro. Ran narrowly escaped Kazari's plan to use her to spawn a Yummy, and this would surely put pressure on Ankh as Shinichi's consciousness might go "overdrive" if he sensed her cries of help…
- By now you realized which character belonged from another manga/anime series judging from the chapter title and this should keep you glued to your seats.
Preview:
- More from the Black Organization, as they decided to "test run" their latest acquisition…
- The Agasa house comes under fire as some burglars are attempting to steal Agasa's gadgets, but then there's O's and Ankh, and see what they could do to scare the burglars away…
- Kazari continues to stalk the four girls, as he gets to see what desire his "prospect" displays, which will set things in motion…
