Okay…we are now in the first installment of the "Gun Trilogy", in which three manga/anime series are used that has guns on it, and expect some of the arcs to be long, as this would showcase the plot creativity I made, but rest assured that the Black Organization won't be neglected, as they are bound to pop out anytime now.
As the title suggests, the first series to be used here is from the "sleeper hit" series, "Cyborg Kuro-Chan". Yup, I was able to watch the Japanese audio/English subtitle of this series via the internet, and this is enough for me to get the inspiration to use this as an opener for this "trilogy", so expect bullets to fly as the action will be exciting.
In the previous arc, a few things happened:
O – Ai Haibara and Ankh encountered a South American woman at the dock of Tokyo Bay and learned that she came here to retrieve her baby, which the two are compelled to help her;
O – With Kyuji joining in, the trio learned that the babies are brought to Japan illegally and sold to childless couples via underground selling, which a legitimate OB gynecologist is involved;
O – And, after saving the babies and putting the traffickers in jail, Kazari makes the attack, but O's stopped him and gained a new set of Core Medals and a new combo;
The time now is 23:45, and mostly everyone within the neighborhood is asleep and not one person is seen strolling on the streets, as everyone is inside their houses fast asleep, and everything appeared to be quiet, but then the scene shows that a silhouette is seen loitering around, and the scene zooms on the ground where shadows are seen, which shows a man wearing a laboratory uniform and is followed by cats, all moving in unison as they are heading to a certain, yet random direction.

122: Jūgeki-sen, Kagaku-sha, Saibōgu Neko part 1
Several minutes later, the time now is 00:00, which is midnight. the streets are still deserted and not one person is walking along, as everyone is still asleep inside their houses, all in peaceful slumber. And because of that, no one is aware that someone is walking within their neighborhood, as the figure remained unidentified as he sneaked around the place, looking for something that is worth taking notice, and the shadows and silhouettes show that he is followed by what appeared to be small-sized troopers, each sporting cat ears and tails.
A few minutes later, the scene shifts to a rural area, where you can see a young-adult cat is sitting by the floor right outside of the front door of a one-story house, which is owned by an elderly couple who are currently asleep, as the cat is watching the night sky, which shows that the skies is peaceful with stars shining brightly, but then his musing is interrupted when the figure shows up and is revealed to be a man in his mid-30's dressed like a mad scientist and is grinning at seeing his find.
"Ah...you make the perfect specimen for my experiment...take him, my pets!"
The cat, identified as "Kuro", is taken by surprise as the scientist's cohorts - who appeared to be mechanical anthropomorphic cats - grabbed and stuffed him inside a sack and then tied him up and left in a hurry, where a few minutes later show that a parked van is waiting, where several tied-up sacks are shown, which some are moving, implying that the like Kuro, several cats are there, and the scientist and his cohorts boarded the van and sped off, and despite the sounds, the neighbors were not roused and remained asleep peacefully.
-x-
The next morning, the scene shifts to the Agasa house where Shintaro Gotoh is preparing breakfast for everyone and soon Hiroshi Agasa came, followed by Shiho Miyano and Kyuji Hino, and they are all having breakfast that consist of bread, milk and coffee, and a discussion took place which the topic is about how they solved the human trafficking ring being busted and how the babies were smuggled illegally in to Japan, the leader exposed and what motivated Rosemarie in to coming here to find her baby.
"Breakfast is ready, everyone..."
"Lets eat!"
"Yummy!"
"You're a good cook, Gotoh!"
"Thanks..."
"A few weeks ago is sure stressful..."
"Yeah...busting a smuggling ring involving babies..."
"And who would believe that a doctor being the ringleader..."
"But thanks to Rosemarie's determination in finding her baby...it led us to solving this case..."
"Yeah...and the babies being rescued..."
"Let's not forget that it led us to stopping Kazari..."
"...and getting a new set of Core Medals..."
While eating their breakfast, Ran Mori came and greeted everyone and they all greeted her in return, while she asks what Ankh is doing, concerned that the incomplete Greed is still attached to Shinichi Kudo's body, wondering how long is he going to stick on Shinichi until fully recovered, which the teen vagabond assured that Shinichi will eventually recovered, which is enough to make Ran feel relieved for now.
"Hi, everyone..."
"Ah, Ran!"
"Hello!"
"Join us for breakfast!"
"Yeah..."
"Thanks..wait...where's Shinichi...I mean...you know who..."
"Ankh's upstairs..."
"...how long will he have to stick with Shinichi's body...?"
"Don't worry...Shinichi will eventually wake up..."
"I see..."
Ran then changed the topic and told them the reason she came here, in which she tells them that her dad is assigned on a rather peculiar case, which it involves solving a spate of abducted, domestic cats that has been plaguing the neighborhood for the past several weeks, which made everyone baffled as to who would want to steal cats, which seem to not caught any kind of media attention.
"Cats abducted?"
"Really?"
"That's odd...there was no news about this kind of incidents..."
"Must be some work of some low-level crooks..."
"But who would want to steal cats?"
"He's right...I don't see the logic in this..."
"Maybe someone wanted to make fur coats out of cats...?"
"Agasa!"
Shiho is perplexed on at the thought of going through the trouble of stealing cats, but Gotoh appeared to come up with a intriguing theory as Kazari came in to mind, being a feline-type Greed himself, and thus his connection to cats can be a good way to start with a clue, which Kyuji appeared to agree with this and believe that someone may have been victimized because of that person's desire, perhaps the desire to get rid of cats.
"Wait..."
"What is it, Gotoh?"
"Cats you say...?"
"Yes...cats being kidnapped..."
"You don't suppose..."
"Eh?"
"...Kazari is involved...being a cat-like Greed..."
"Yeah...that could be a clue..."
"Perhaps the one who stole cats may be fueled by desire..."
However, Ankh came down and joins the discussion, and dispels the theory because he stated that he hasn't detected Kazari's aura, nor his Yummy.
"You're wrong...if Kazari is involved, then I would've detected his aura...or his Yummy..."
"Are you sure?"
"You heard me..."
"Darn...there goes a lead..."

At the Kougami Biotech laboratory, Kiyoto Maki and Kazari (in his human guise) are watching TV, listening to the news about the spate of abducted domestic cats, which plagued the neighborhood as several owners are complaining that their pet cats can't just disappeared without a trace, as some of them show that the abduction is real as their cages were shown to have been tampered, and even their collars were forcibly ripped off and left at the scene of the crime.
Kazari is rather intrigued as he felt that whoever did this may have a very strong desire and he is musing at the thought of seeking the person out and make use of his desire, though Maki wondered and asked if Kazari is involved in this or not, which the Greed honestly denied any knowledge of the abduction. Believing him, Maki suggest to Kazari that he go out and find the one who is behind the feline abduction so that he would make a strong Yummy based on that person's desire.
"Hmm..so someone is stealing neighborhood cats...an intriguing development..."
"Stealing cats...whoever is doing this...I'm attracted..."
"Really, Kazari?"
"Yes...it takes a strong desire to do that...and if I can find this person...I can make use of him..."
"This may be an odd question...but are you not involved in this?"
"Of course not..."
"I see...you may go do your thing..."
"See you later..."
With that, Kazari left and goes out to seek this person and make use of his desire to spawn a very strong Yummy.

About a few hours later, the scene shifts to a laboratory somewhere within Tokyo, though the location itself is not shown, and there you can see that Kuro has regained consciousness but finds himself strapped to a table, unable to break free from its bonds and get loose while several tools and machines are hovered above him, and then the scene shifts to a window above the surgery room, where the man is finally shown in full view, and his voice spoke via the speakers.
"Welcome...and congratulations...you are chosen to be my latest experiment...you will become my "super-soldier"...and you will help me rule the world!"
The man, who appeared to be a mad scientist, is identified as Dr. Mantaro Go, and tells Kuro that is has been selected to become a "super animal-soldier" so he can help him rule Japan, and later the rest of the world, as he stated that he is the third of his "prototype" that would help Go in creating his "ideal empire" so he presses a button and the tools started to descend and Kuro tries to break free in desperation, but it was no use, as Dr. Go commences the "twisted surgery" and the machines and tools started to perform an operation on the hapless cat, who screams out in pain.
"NNNNNYYYYAAAANNNNNN!"

Hope you like the opening arc, and while most of you who remembered this anime from Animax-Asia, the English-dub made little wave and most fans chose to watch it in Japanese audio with subtitles, hence, it went a little unappreciated, hence a "sleeper hit" among viewers when Animax-Asia was launched in April 2004, which the 4 to 7 PM slot was made for English viewers (mostly kids aged 10 and below).
Unlike the manga and anime, which gives Kuro's opening a comical twist, I decided to give Kuro's origin a rather dramatic approach, which is somewhat akin to the 2005 Japanese film "Kamen Rider The First". In the next chapters, the comical moments will be shown, but expect some rather hard actions once the characters get to "interact" with each other.
Preview:
Kuro-chan is created as a "cyborg" and gets to undergo his "first mission", so expect some rather violent moments while the Detective Conan crew are unaware of this new threat.
