Detective Conan x OOO: Hunt For The Mystical Medals
Problem arises as Ran Mori comes across Shinichi Kudo, unaware that he is currently being possessed by Ankh and he appeared to have the intention of harming her while Kyuji is starting to panic and tries to stop him from harming her. Will Kyuji be able to persuade his "reluctant ally" to at least spare her?
Meanwhile one of the four Greeds is ready to make a move to cause trouble, so it's another work for our beleaguered heroes.
And lastly, Hiroshi Agase and Shihi Miyano (aka Ai Haibara) makes an appearance and this will further gives this new arc a conflict of interest once they find out what has befallen Shinichi Kudo.
Note: This fic took place after SEARCH FOR THE MYSTERIOUS MISSING MEDALS, where Detective Conan teams up with Hajime Kindaichi, and you'll find it under the Kindaichi crossover category.

In the previous arc...
Three things have happened last time...
O - Mysterious creatures made of medals are born...a teen vagrant named Kyuji Hino encounters the mysterious, monster arm named Ankh...getting into a fight with the Kamakiri Yummy sent by Uva, Ankh and Kyuiji are in trouble, but with Ankh's help, Kyuji is given the mystical power to change into O's, which defeated the Kamakiri Yummy, but after the battle Ankh took possession of Shinichi Kudo's body , who is mortally wounded in the ensuing assault...
O - After lecturing Kyuji about the importance of the Cell Medals and Core Medals...about the Yummy and the Greed, they get into a conflict over the Otoshibumi Yummy, with Ankh more concerned about the medals and Kyuji about everyone's safties...
O - Ankh is forced to a compromise with Kyuji and so O's went on to defeat the Yummy with an unexpected help...then Ran Mori an into Shinichi, unaware of him being possessed by Ankh...and the Greed is poised to deal a lethal blow...
While Ankh is resting at a bench, Ran Mori happened top 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.
"Oh no…it's that girl I met earlier at the park…who help me in getting the medal…she is unaware of what has happened to the detective! I've got to keep her away or else Ankh might do something to her…!"
"Oh, Shinichi! Its bee so long! Where were you? Why didn't you tell me that you're already here? And what's with that new hairdo? It doesn't suit you! Come with me to the saloon…we'll change your hair color back to normal…then we go somewhere and talk…you've got a lot of explaining to do…"
"Hmm…what is her problem? What is she trying to do…? Seduce me?"
Perturbed by what Ran is doing, Ankh revealed his "monster hand" and slowly pointed his finger on Shinichi's right temple and began scanning the detective's mind and memories to get information, and there he slowly learned a lot about Shinichi Kudo's exploits, and about Ran Mori. By then he deemed her a nuisance and a hindrance to his agenda of gathering the medals and is prepared to strike her down much to Kyuji's horror, fearing for her safety.
"No, Ankh…don't do it…! She's innocent and you mustn't harm her…!"

As Ankh is about to strike her, Ran saw the monster hand and recalled seeing it earlier and she shrieks out before fainting, falling down to the ground. Detaching himself from Shinichi's body, the incomplete Greed floats down and is getting ready to strangle her, but Kyuji got there and grapples with the monster hand, pleading to spare her life as she is innocent of all this.
"Please…don't hurt her!"
"Stand aside! She's a hindrance as she'll only get in our way to collect medals!"
"She won't! I promise you! I'll tell her to leave you alone! I promise!"
"You think that would work?"
Fortunately, their struggling was interrupted when Ankh sensed a presence of a Greed and realized the Greed is nearby, and assuming that the Greed has his Core Medals, he reluctantly agreed to spare her and went back to re-attaching himself to the teen detective's body while Kyuji places Ran on the long bench and called for the janitor to look after her as he and Ankh left to head for the direction where the Ankh senses the Greed's aura, leading them to a nearby park.
"That's leads to another park! Can Ankh really sense a Greed? What if it's another Yummy…?"
-x-
At a forested park, the Greed in question is hiding on top of a tree, and it turns out to be Kazari, as he stealthily watches several people loitering and other having a picnic, and noted that humanity has indeed changed in the last 800 years since he and the other Greeds were sealed. Though he finds it strange, he is also fascinated on what humanity is like in this era and decided to see what he can do to blend in and investigate without attracting attention to himself.
"My…humanity has indeed changed in the last 800 years…I guess times have changed. I'd better think of a way to blend in without causing trouble…or it'll be trouble back at the tunnel…at least it'll give me time to think of what to do next…study this era; find Ankh; and retrieve my Core Medals…"
By then he sensed an aura of a Greed approaching him and wondered who it is, since he knew that neither Uva, Gameru or Mezuru would come here as they were already been seen and this would blow their cover and the humans would hunt them down. However, he saw the two persons running and saw one of them revealing his monster hand while the other tries to cover it.
"Come on, Ankh! Try not to reveal yourself or you'll cause a disturbance!"
"Knock it off! I can sense a Greed nearby and I'm sure that Greed has one of my Core Medals! So stop telling me what to do!"
"Eh…? That hand…I recognized it…and I'm sure of it…that's Ankh! But why is he attached to a human body…? Perhaps he too is missing his Core Medals and is unable to regenerate himself…this is an interesting development…but right now I'm not ready to tangle with you yet. Be thankful you get a respite…when we meet again, I'll see to it that I'll get my Core Medal back from you…"
Kazari then jumped onto another tree to escape being seen and Ankh could sense the Greed's escaping presence and follows the aura, which resulted in a chase until Kazari saw a moving van and the Greed disperses into Cell Medals and hid inside the van's compartment and he is safe to escape, and by then Ankh and Kyuji lost their quarry as they lost track to the Greed's aura.
"Blast! He's gone!"
"A Yummy?"
"No…someone like me…a Greed."
"Huh? How many are you there?"
"Stop asking meaningless questions…"
"It's not meaningless…I need to know who I am facing besides you…"
"You're facing me?"
"Yeah…I'm standing in front of you right now and…"
"What an idiot you are…!"
As the two bicker, someone arrived on a motorcycle which caught the pair's attention and when the rider got off and removed his helmet, it turn out to be Shintaro Gotoh, who earlier assisted him in defeating the Otomibushi Yummy. Gotoh then presses a button on the motorcycle and it transformed into a vending machine and gives Kyuji some instructions on what they should do next.
"Use this."
"Ah! You're from earlier! Okay…I got it!"
Kyuji went towards the Ride Vendor and inserted a Cell Medal and presses the button, changing it back to motorcycle form which gotoh notes that Kougami is right…Kyuji, as O's, lacks the knowledge and resources on the technology and reluctantly showed him what else the ride Vendor can do besides becoming a motorcycle.
"Why change it back?"
"Eh? I thought you want us to find the Yummy and the Greed?"
"There are other ways of using the Ride Vendor apart from motorcycle mode. You can use the Candroids to track it down."
"Oh…right!"
Pressing the button, Kyuji causes the ride Vendor to change back into a vending machine and slots in another Cell Medal to choose a Candroid, and Ankh is agitated that Kyuji is wasting two Cell Medals just to get something he deemed unimportant.
"Hey…! Don't waste the Cell Medals!"
But Kyuji is busy in choosing which Candroid he should bring out so Ankh went towards Gotoh to demand a refund of sorts but learned something he didn't expected to hear…which appeared to mystify and perplexed him at the same time.
"Give that Medal back! It's invalid!"
"He already used it. Once spent, you can't get it back."
"What?"
Meanwhile, Kyuji slots in a Cell Medal and presses a button, which a can is dropped down and a voice spoke to confirm that the can has been "purchased".
Ride Vendor: "TAKA CAN…"
Taking the can out, Kyuji pulls the lever like a regular beverage can and the can transforms into a can-sized hawk and there he gives the Taka Candroid an instruction.
"Um…can you find the Greed that just escaped?"
With that, the Taka Candroid flew towards the direction where Kazari's aura was last sensed. The scene then shifts back to Gotoh and Ankh, who are exchanging heated words.
"What did you say? Are you saying I can't get it back?"
"You heard me."
"Who are you, human? How can a mere human like you use the medals' powers?"
"Since you monsters are sealed away for 800 years…"
"So?"
"During that time, mere humans have evolved…and we even have the means and ways to deal with the likes of you…the Greed."
With that, Gotoh took out his rifle and aimed it at Ankh, but the Greed wasn't unfazed by Gotoh's action.
"Evolved…? Hah! The only thing that's evolved is your over-inflated ego!"
Raising his monster hand, Ankh goes to face off Gotoh until Kyuji intervenes and calmed the two down to disperse the tension between the two.
"Hey…! Stop it! Calm down!"
The two kept on staring for about 20 seconds before Gotoh lowers his weapon and took his leave on the Ride Vendor and left, which made Kyuji ponder why Gotoh is helping them while Ankh ponders on Gotoh's word about humans evolving over the last 800 years.
"Who is that guy…? He's always helping us…"
"Strange indeed…"
Ankh recalled what Gotoh said about "mere humans evolved", and decided to come up with a way to know more about this era and decided to scan Shinichi's mind to get information on how to figure out about humanity's evolution.
"Fine then…"
"Eh?"
Pointing a finger on Shinichi Kudo's right temple, Ankh has accessed the teen detective's memories and learned that Shinichi has a number of technological gadgets at his disposal and gets them from Hiroshi Agase and is able to locate his whereabouts, and learned of a new gadget which he believed will help him in his future endeavors and he now knows what to do next.
-x-
At the Kougami Foundation, its president, Kousei Kougami, is stating at the laptop where Ankh's footage is shown along with its data, and he is pleased at the series of events that took place, including seeing the footage of Gotoh meeting with Kyuji and Ankh the second time.
"Right now he's very balanced, Satonaka…That teen boy has the power…but as O's, he doesn't have the technology or the necessary know-how…so our Ride Vendors and the Greed aiding him will have to fill in for that. The situation couldn't be better…since we are getting more medals!"
Erika Satonaka is counting the medals while stacking them like a tower, and responds to Kougami's comments.
"Yes, sir…the collection is rapidly increasing…"
By then the "tower" of medals collapsed, much to her chagrin, and Kougami gives her the next instructions.
"Have Gotoh watch and follow them for now."
"Yes, sir…"
The scene shifts back to Kougami, who is in front of his desk with several cake baking paraphernalia and is holding a mixing machine in his hand, preparing to bake another cake.
"So…whose birthday is it today…?"
-x-
About 20 minutes later, Ankh and Kyuji arrived in front of Professor Hiroshi Agase's place, which Ankh is looking forward to "pilfer" whatever devices he could find so that he can get to use them for the following reasons which he eagerly intends to do:
- Learn about today's era;
- How humans evolve in the last 800 years;
- Finding the Cell Medals;
- Finding his Core Medals
"Hey…what are we doing here?"
"The place where this body frequently came…and where this body stays…"
"Eh? Seriously?"
"You heard me…"
"Just how do you know about this place?"
"I can access more than this body's movements…I can also access this body's memories…and here I can find the tools I need to learn more why humans evolved…"
"But…that's trespassing!"
"Whatever…"
Ankh did not have second thoughts and went ahead inside with Kyuji reluctantly following him and soon both are inside Agase' place where Kyuji is awed at seeing several technological gadgets being on display, and mentally makes comparison to the gadget that Gotoh presented to him and wondered if the owner of this place is rich or is just using old junks and recycle them into technological tools.
Ankh looks around to see if he could find something useful and found something on top of a high self and tries to climb it but sees that it is physically impossible, so he turned towards Kyuji and gives him an instruction, much to his surprise.
"Kyuji…hold onto this body…I'm going to get something…"
Ankh detaches itself from Shinichi's body and went towards the top portion of the high shelf just as Kyuji caught and broke Shinichi's fall, and slowly carried him towards the living room and placed him on the couch, thinking of something should the owner finds him and discovers Shinichi's comatose body, but by then Agase and Ai Haibara came and saw this which Agase took out an improvised rifle as Ai went towards Shinichi, checking him and found he has a weak pulse.
"Alright…hands up! Who are you and how did you get in here?"
"Shinichi! Shinichi! Professor…Shinichi's not responding…his pulse is weak! We've got to take him to a hospital!"
Seeing this, Agase aimed his weapon at Kyuji's face and demanded an answer from him which Kyuji urged the professor to calm down and that he will explain everything, but then Agase and Ai assumes that Kyuji is a spy for the Black Organization and are about to take action when Ankh came, carrying an item which appeared to be an I-Phone and went back inside, which Agase and Ai stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"D-did you see that? A hand is flying!"
"Must be a robot…"
"Kyuji…hold on to this as I'm going to get something else…"
"Just hurry, okay? Detective Kudo's body won't last beyond 10 minutes…"
"Don't rush me, okay?"
The incomplete Greed then levitated back at the high shelf to rummage on something, much to the shocking eyes of Agase and Ai while Kyuji sighed at the scene in front of him. Another minute later Ankh came back carrying an I-pad and threw it at Kyuji just as the Greed went to Shinichi and attaches itself and Shinichi's body got up, his eyes opened and his hair "spikes up" and there he grabbed the I-Pad and started to browse and slowly finds the answers to the first to questions, while Agase and Ai stared wide-eyed at what they just witnessed.
"M-Master Shinichi…?"
"How…his hair changed…and that hand…it attached onto Shinichi's…"
Kyuji sweat-dropped at the scene in front of him, and sighed as he has got a lot of explaining to do, so as to quell off the tension inside the living room.
"Ankh…will you please control yourself…now we'll have to explain to these two about the situation…"
"Whatever…I'm learning what has made humanity evolved in the past 800 years…and I'll be needing to find where my Core Medals are…"
"Wh-what…? Ankh?"
"Humanity…? 800 years? Core Medals?"
"Er…please calm down…and please lower your gun…I'll explain everything…but it'll take time for you to grasp what has befallen Detective Kudo…and why Ankh is possessing him…"
"Alright…but it better be good…or else I'll blast you off…!"
To Be Continued…
Ran's safe for now…
Kyuji now knows how to operate the Ride Vendor…
Ankh and Kyuji indirectly meets Agase and Ai…
What would the latter two do once they learned about Shinichi's current situation?

Glossary:
Here are some of the terms which I think you might have the need to understand some of them as they are part of the story and to help you understand what role they play here...
1) Ride Vendor
The Ride Vendor (ライドベンダー Raidobendā?) is a modified Honda VT 750 C2B Shadow Black Spirit, mass-produced by the Kougami Foundation and provided to Kamen Rider OOO and Ankh for use whenever needed. It can transform from its Machine Vendor Mode (マシンベンダーモード Mashin Bendā Mōdo?), where it acts as a vending machine which holds the Candroids, to its Machine Bike Mode (マシンバイクモード Mashin Baiku Mōdo?), when a Cell Medal is inserted and touching the Multi TaS Sensor (マルチTaSセンサー Maruchi Tasu Sensā?, "Touch and Scan"). This transformation allows the Ride Vendor to remain hidden in plain sight as a vending machine until needed
2) Candroids
The Candroids (カンドロイド Kandoroido?) are special support robots that are held within the Ride Vendor. After inserting a Cell Medal into the Ride Vendor in its vending machine mode, a beverage can like device is "bought" from the machine. The Candroid is transformed from its Can Mode (カンモード Kan Mōdo?) into itsAnimal Mode (アニマルモード Animaru Mōdo?) through the pull-tab on top. Normally, a large number of them are deployed from the Ride Vendor, but only one needs to be manually activated, the others simply activating on their own afterwards.
2.1) The Taka Candroid (タカカンドロイド Taka Kandoroido?) can fly and primarily used by the Kougami Foundation to gather Medals or serve as a remote control recon that transmit images to a Kougami Foundation laptop.
2.2) The Tako Candroid (タコカンドロイド Tako Kandoroido?) is a flexible flyer that can join with fellow Tako Candroids to form various things like roads, bungee cords, or trampolines. On its own, a single Tako Candroid is able to defend itself by spraying ink at its attacker.
