Detective Conan x OOO: Hunt For The Mystical Medals

As the Otoshibumi Yummy began to scale towards the roof and the vibrations threatened to have Kyuji fall and the incomplete Greed realizes that he underestimated his "pawn's" willpower. By then Kyuji falls down and Ankh had to act fast ort else all will be for nothing.

"Fine! I'll abide by your word! Now take the three Core medals and transform!"

Realizing that he couldn't win their argument, Ankh is forced to promise Kyuji to prioritize human lives over the medals, and gives Kyuji the O-Belt just as the latter fell off the building, but then he managed to transform into O's before reaching the ground, and there he uses the power of the Batta Medal to leap up towards the building to use the Tora Claws from the Tora Medal to fight the Yummy while Ankh watches on. He mentally seethed upon realizing that Kyuji isn't easy to be manipulated and had to think of another way to bend his will to serve as his medal hunter.

At the ground, Vermouth approaches Shinichi's body, pointing a silencer gun at him, pondering on whether to kill Shinichi here or not, realizing that killing him would end his suffering yet it would deprive the Black Organization of a threat which only he stands in their way, yet she is having second thoughts of committing euthanasia knowing that the incomplete Greed is the only one to keep him alive right now.

"So Shinichi…is this all you can do now? As much as I want to…I'm not sure if I have to do this, but I rather see that you have your own will than letting that monster hand control you…and it sickens me that you couldn't do anything in your current state…so make a prayer if you wish to live longer to find out who slipped the drug that regressed your body to childhood…"

Vermouth's gun nozzle is aimed straight at Shinichi's brain, not shaking as her eyes focused on him and to her surprise, Shinichi's eyebrow twitched and his breathing appeared to be normal yet he remained still, which she finds it unexpected yet she remained in her position as she makes a decision on whether to put him out of his misery or not.

08: Yokubō to Aisu to Purezento part 3

As she remained aiming her gun at the comatose detective, a flashback scene came in her thoughts as this made her recall what happened to her in the past and Vermouth slowly started to have second thoughts of carrying out her actions as Shinichi remained still and is not moving, apart from breathing in a slow motion.

"Hmm…time sure flies fast…"

Looking back at the time how Shinichi saved her in the past, she felt a tinge of mercy and gratitude and glanced at O's and Ankh as they deal with the monstrous Yummy, and recalling why Kyuji Hino is hanging around with the incomplete Greed, she made several minutes of thinking on whether if she should press the trigger of her silencer gun or not, knowing that she should do this since she's a member of the Black Organization.

"So…should I kill you or not…? That vagabond there is deadest on saving you…but how can he pull it off with that Greed wanting medals and has no regards for human life…what do you think, Shinichi? Having your body becoming a puppet vessel to that Greed?"

Shinichi's body remained still showing no signs of movement and she can tell that even if she spoke to him within a few distances, it doesn't mean that he can absorb what he just heard. After a few more minutes of thinking, Vermouth slowly lowered her gun and placed it on her scabbard as she decided to let him live for now knowing that Ankh is using the comatose detective's body as a vessel as well as to keep Shinichi alive. She came to realize that Ankh is the only one who can keep Shinichi Kudo alive and finds interest and entertainment in seeing what lies ahead of him and O's, and how to gather data from them as well as from both the Greed and the Yummy.

"Consider yourself lucky…I'm willing to keep your existence a secret…as I find it entertaining how that vagabond and that Greed would compromise themselves over your health…as well as I intend to gather data on him…the Greed…and the medals…so until then…keep quiet and don't try to fight for the dominance of your body…"

By then she noticed that someone is approaching via a motorcycle and she left and hid behind a parked car and watched the next scene unfold, and there she found more interesting revelations which she can use to her advantage and perhaps help in her future endeavors for herself and for the Black Organization. The scene shifts to the approaching motorist, who turned out to be none other than Shintaro Gotoh, as he is carrying a long, slender box wrapped in ribbon which looked like a birthday present, as he alighted from the motorcycle as O's is thrown off the ground after several failed attempts to strike the Yummy using the claws of the Tora Medals.

Meanwhile, as O's gets up after being thrown off the building, Gotoh confronted him as he hands him the "presents" which O's finds it quite odd, since this day isn't his birthday while Ankh looks on, curious to see why a mere human casually approached O's without showing a tint of fear and distrust despite O's armored appearance. He even finds it more disturbing is that Gotoh isn't afraid of the Otomibushi Yummy that is rampaging on the side of the building.

"A birthday present from a great man."

"A birthday present?"

"What the? Cell Medals?"

"Wow…what an awesome sword!"

"Use the medals in that vending machine."

"Thanks…but I'm not thirsty…"

"Just do it…there are no beverages there…just some technological help."

As Gotoh told O's on how to use the Cell Medals in converting the vending machine into a motorcycle, which he called it the "Ride Vendor" and O's went into action to face the Yummy, and there Gotoh inserted several Cell Medals summon the "Candroids", mechanical mechas in the size of a beverage can. After inserting the Cell Medal inside the coin slot and pressing a button, the Candroids came out and pulling out its lever, the Candroids transformed, which they resembled tiny octopuses.

Ride Vendor: "TAKA-CANDROIDS…"

The Tako Candroids then went in front of O's, forming a bridge so that O's can ride towards the building's rooftop while Goth gives O's another set of instructions.

"Put the Medals in that sword…the Medajalibur."

"This…? I don't know who you are…but thanks!"

As O's boarded the Ride Vendor and cruises off, Gotoh watches as he wondered if Kousei Kougami is doing the right thing in lending the foundation's weapons to a mere stranger who was given the means to be come O's, and a flashback scene shows that 10 minutes ago, Kougami is watching the battle via a monitor which shows that O's is having difficulty in dealing with the Otomobushi Yummy and told both Gotoh and Erika that it is a desire to help O's in any way possible.

- - - FLASHBACK - - -

At the Kougami Foundation, Kousei Kougami is baking a cake and instructs Gotoh to deliver the "presents" to Kyuji as he wanted to see how O's can make use of them in fighting the Yummy, which Gotoh obeyed, and as he left, Kougami began putting the icing on the table which the designs are spelled "OOO". Kougami went on to say what a wonderful feeing it is…that a mass of greed are created from human desire…which in turn spawned the Greed.

- - - END FLASHBACK - - -

After receiving the "gifts", O's Went into action as he drove the Ride Vendor towards the building a s several of the Tako Candroids lined up and formed a bridge for the motorcycle to pass on and O's reached the rooftop of the building and used the Medajalibur to slash at the Yummy's underbelly, slicing it open and "bleeds", as several Cell Medals fall off and Ankh catches several of them, partially re-energizing him.

"Not bad…but he better slice that Yummy up some more…"

Meanwhile, Vermouth is recording the entire scene with her digi-cam and is fascinated at what she has discovered, and glances at the Ride Vendor after seeing it becoming a vending machine to a motorcycle and back.

"Now this is what I call a real discovery…now I can make use of those vending machines…and the Boss will be pleased with the pieces of info I got…"

The scene shifts back to the battle as the massive Yummy managed to disarm O's and the Medajalibur was thrown off, and Ankh flew up and tosses the Kamakiri Medal to give O's a bit of a backup, so O's switches Medals, replacing the Tora Medal with the Kamakiri Medal.

O-Belt: "TAKA…KAMAKIRI…BATTA!"

Assuming the combination form of TaKiriBa, O's uses the Kamakiri Blades to keep the Yummy at bay until he too is thrown off the rooftop, only for the Taka Candroids forming a "rope" to slow his descent. O's would use this to retrieve the Medajalibur before being pulled back up and returned to the rooftop where he uses the weapon to clip several of the Yummy's legs, which the Yummy fell off the roof and hit the ground. Jumping down, he landed on the Yummy and slices off the remaining legs and then recalled what Gotoh told him about using the Cell Medals on the weapon.

"Hmm…insert the Cell Medals in this sword…okay!"

Inserting three Cell Medals into the Medajalibur, O's took the O-Scanner and "scans" it in front of the Medajalibur, resulting in an effect which powers up the weapon.

O-Scanner: "SCANNING CHARGE!"

The Medajalibur is activated and he performed the "O-Bash", slicing the Otomibushi Yummy and the result is that the monster exploded, spewing several Cell Medals all over. As Ankh managed to absorb several, several Taka Candroids arrived and took the Cell Medals much to the incomplete Greed's chagrin, as the mecha birds made off with the Cell Medals, and Ankh is forced to re-attach himself onto Shinichi Kudo's body.

By this time, Gotoh have taken his leave, seeing that O's have defeated the yummy while the Taka Candroids have collected the Cell Medals. However, he is unaware that Vermouth has taken footage of the scene, including his conversation with O's and how the Ride Vendor works. She mentally thanked Gotoh for the "freebies" now that she has something to show to the other Black Organization members should they ask her what she is doing all this time.

"I guess that wraps it up…better find these "vending machines" and bring one home…then we'll figure out a way to mass-produce them…"

-x-

Soon afterwards, both Kyuji and Ankh left the scene after rescue workers arrived to assist the survivors while carrying away the corpses of those killed, and as they passed by a park, Ankh, in Shinichi's body, took the ice popsicles without second thoughts and again Kyuji is forced to pay for their "troubles". He noted that Ankh has appeared to develop a liking to popsicles and wondered how to save Shinichi should Ankh ever regain most of his core medals, mentally picturing the scenario where he might abandon Shinichi Kudo's body should he get his core medals back and regain his true body.

"This is not a good scenario…even if we're amicable with the agreement…what if Ankh did regain what he's looking for? He might abandon Shinichi Kudo's body…what will I do if that ever happens? Well…one day I'll find a way to separate Ankh from the detective and save him as well as find a way to heal him…"

While resting at a bench, Ran Mori happened to pass by and seemingly recognized Shinichi despite his "spiked up" hairstyle as she recognized his face, and she went to him in both joy and relief, hugging him which made Ankh taken by surprise and wondered who this woman is, while Kyuji saw this and is mentally panicking as Ankh raised his hand, his monster hand appearing and looked as if he is going to harm her.

To Be Continued…

Ankh realizes that Kyuji is more than he anticipated…and realized that he underestimated his willpower and now he'll have to make a compromise to get his medals back…

Vermouth sure has a reason to be pleased…she has partially gained the info regarding the Ride Vendor and the power of the medals…so now the threat is about to commence as she intends to use them to the Black Organization's advantage…

Ran Mori is back…and she has found Shinichi, despite the "spiked up" hairdo, but Ankh seems to have other ideas…and this spells danger for her…what would Shinichi Kudo do if he were to find out that he indirectly killed his lady love?

And what would Kyuji do to prevent this from happening?
