Detective Conan x OOO: Hunt For The Mystical Medals

Things are getting underway as our heroes within Detective Conan are about to cross path with the characters of the murder mystery dōjin soft sound novel, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. There things will start as peaceful at first but will eventually turn out of control once the "Hinamizawa Syndrome" manifests in one of the victims and then a Yummy starts to cause trouble.

On the lighter side, this is where the detective elements come in as Ankh is undergoing some temporary changes that would make him act out of character despite being a Greed taking control of Shinichi Kudo's body.

By mid-afternoon, Kyuji arrives at Hinamizawa Village via the Ride Vendor in motorcycle form and noted that the place is much like a rural village with less city-like ambience and he noted that it lacks some technological objects such as the Ride Vendors and ATM machines, yet he is ready to go around the area with two things on his mind:

- One, find Ankh, who left earlier on as he assumed that he has sensed a Yummy, and thus giving the notion that a Greed is there and Ankh is certain that the Greed in question may have his Core Medal, and knowing that the body he is using is not superhuman like the other Greed, Ankh has unintentionally put Shinichi Kudo's body at risk.

- Two, Shiho Miyano, aka Ai Haibara, requested Kyuji to investigate Hinamizawa Village as she got word from her secret informer about what he discovered about strange killings that took place there since four years ago after an annual festival there and that recently, a certain individual there began to act strange and began attacking anyone he came into ,then started to rake on his throat until he dies of bleeding from the neck, and the informer said that since that incident, it was never reported to the police, and that the village remained quiet after. With that, along with Ankh leaving ahead to an unknown destination, he decided to go anyway. As he leaves and after passing by centralTokyo, he saw a Ride Vendor and inserts a Cell Medal and activated a Taka Candroid to have it track down Ankh.

About 40 minutes after cruising, the Taka Candroid came to Kyuji and using a coded message connected to the Ride Vendor, Kyuji learned that Ankh is heading forHinamizawaVillageitself, and guessed that a Yummy must be there as well so he sped up and head there so he can catch up with Ankh. Because the Greed has the Core Medals Kyuji can't transform into O's.

By the time he entered Hinamizawa Village, Kyuji decided to pretend to be a tourist passing by and as he entered, he did not notice that he is being watched by several persons dressed like soldiers who are stationed at a bus station, yet they did not took action though one of them said something to the others.

"It's alright…that man seem to be non-threatening…but the first one who arrived…keep an eye on him…he resembles the teen detective, Shinichi Kudo…"

"Impossible…the man has a blonde, spiked-up hair…"

"We take no chances…you will restrain him should he attempt to leave this village…"

"Very well…"

The scene shifts to Ankh as he arrived 15 minutes before Kyuji came and he is moving around rather suspiciously as he could sense a Yummy somewhere within the village, and while he is a bit displeased at the surroundings of this village, he didn't mind it for now as he is sure that once he finds the Yummy he can take it out to absorb the Cell Medals. Realizing that Kyuji hasn't arrived yet, he decided to activate a Taka Candroid and ordered it to find Kyuji.

"Go find and intercept Kyuji…return and report to me if you find him. Understand?"

The Taka Candroid nodded as it flew away to intercept Kyuji, while Ankh felt a bit of irritated that there are no Ride Vendors in this village, but he nevertheless pleased that he was given access to the gadgets that Hiroshi Agase supplied to him and Ankh chooses the devices to suit his purposes which would help him track down the Yummy and Greed in question as well as to help him locate his missing Core Medals:

- Agasa supplied Ankh wristwatch that is able to shoot a tranquilizer dart and act as a flashlight.

- Agasa supplied the Greed with special shoes for Ankh that 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.

Ankh recalled earlier where Ai gives him a fake badge to ensure Shinichi Kudo's secret by giving him the fake name of "Andy Khu", which is a pun on the Greed's name, which he detests at first but eventually accepted it. While roaming around, he sensed the presence of a Yummy and heads towards the direction but then heard screams which he intended to ignore it at first, but then something made him compel to head to the source of the scream first.

"What the…? Something inside my body is making me go there…no…I'm not going anywhere…until I find…the Yummy…my…Core medals might be there...!"

But Ankh is unable to fight against the involuntary movement and to his surprise, he is unable to detach himself from Shinichi's body, and he slowly heads for a place leading to a rice field. As he arrived there, he saw Shion Sonozaki assaulting several farmers as she douses them with a water gun before zapping them with a stun gun, electrocuting them to death. Looking to his side, Ankh saw several bodies of farmers, all of them died from electrocution and then saw Shion glancing at him. By then Ankh is able to regain control of Shinichi's body and he is not pleased with this.

"Blast…what the heck was that just now…? I feel like I was being possessed…now I'll have to clean up this unnecessary mess…!"

-x-

Meanwhile, As Kyuji is looking around, he saw the Taka Candroid that Ankh sent came and there he slowly guessed that Ankh sent it so he follows the Candroid which would lead him to Ankh's current position. While running, he passes by Rena Ryugu, who is also acting strange as she assaulted several elderly persons with a metal bat and tries to attack him but Kyuji managed to restrain her until local village watchmen came and puts her in handcuffs, and thanked Kyuji for his help.

"Thank you, lad…"

"We'll take it from here…"

"We have no idea why she is like this…"

"You're welcome…please take care of her…"

"We will…may Kami-Sama bless you…"

Kyuji bowed to them and left as the Candroid is waiting form him and both head towards the area leading them to the rice field and he hoped that Ankh isn't causing trouble there as seeing the Greed getting into an altercation with the villagers here is the last thing he wanted to expect and see.

"I hope Ankh doesn't do anything that would attract attention…that's something I don't want to happen until I find a way to save Shinichi Kudo…"

-x-

After some 10 minutes, Kyuji arrived where he saw Ankh revealing his "monster hand" as he is evading Shion, who is trying to strike him with the stun gun and Ankh managed to punch her down but then Kyuji came and restrains him and this causes an argument to ensue, giving Shion time to recover.

"Ankh! What are you doing?"

"Let go!"

"No! You're not going to harm another innocent girl!"

"Innocent girl, you say? Look around you! She caused this to happen! She even tried to attack me!"

As Kyuji looked around, he saw several bodies laid within their vicinity as Shion gets up, and then Ankh senses the Yummy aura coming from the east, where the egg that is hidden inside Shion's house, hatched and something emerged and smashed its way out, and head for the rice field, where it revealed itself as the Unagi Yummy. The Unagi Yummy, with the size of an adult human though its body resembles an eel, began to charge electricity and nearly hits the two, who managed to evade it.

"Blast! It discharges electricity!"

"Yikes! That was close!"

"Anyhow…you're timing's perfect! Here! Transform if you don't want to get fried alive!"

Before Ankh can give the three Core Medals to Kyuji, Shion's desire fueled the Unagi Yummy's power, and the Yummy began to grow bigger at the size of a one-story house and started to chase after the two while unleashing electrical assaults which causes some of the crops, and the bushes to get burnt and set on fire. The two had to run in a zigzag motion as to confuse their pursuer so that they won't get zapped easily.

"Waaahhh! Anaconda! This is as scary as as watching "Snakes On A Plane"!"

"Idiot! That's an Unagi! It's aquatic in nature...that means Mezuru was here before...therefore she must be somewhere here! Keep running until we find an opening so I can give the Core medals to you and you can transform into O's!"

-x-

Back at Tokyo, Mezuru arrived back at their secret hiding place where the human forms of Uva, Kazari and Gameru are waiting, and upon arrival, she revealed her Greed form and the rest followed suit, and Gameru is the first to greet her in a childish manner which seem to made Uva a bit aghast while Kazari looks on, eager to ask her where she went and what made her take her long to come here.

"Mezuru…Mezuru …came back…Gameru happy…!"

"I'm happy to see you too, Gameru…have you been a good boy?"

"Gameru a good, good boy…!"

"Good. So…have you boys been behaving well…?"

Uva wasted no time and approached the female Greed and asked her right off the hook and she readily answered them.

"Where have you been, Mezuru? I hope you didn't over-enjoy your stroll…"

"I did enjoy, in fact…I found an interesting trio of humans…whose desires are strong despite being drugged that causes them to go paranoid…and by now they are causing havoc there…one by one…and I'm sure it'll produce us a lot of Cell Medals…"

"Really…? Where is this place…ah…I sense your Yummy awakened…but the aura is…far."

"At a place called Hinamizawa…which is quite far…"

After telling Uva about the place as well as about the so-called "Hinamizawa Syndrome", the insectoid-themed Greed is rather intrigued and decided to head there to see it for himself and left, which Kazari wondered if Uva going there would be worth his time. Mezuru smirked as she told him to let Uva enjoy himself as this would give him plenty of opportunity to familiarize himself with today's era.

(Theme Song from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)

Furimuita sono ushiro no (Shoumen daare?)

Amadare wa chi no shizuku to natte hoho o tsutai ochiru
Mou doko ni mo kaeru basho ga nai nara

Kono yubi tomare watashi no yubi ni
Sono yubi goto tsurete tte ageru
Higurashi ga naku akazu no mori e

Hmm...an ending song...well, after watching a few episodes of this anime the opening song itself was suspensful enough, and I decided to give this arc a suspenseful tone so I decided to post it here as this fic's ending song, though this is only for this story arc. A new ending song will be posted depending on how important that arc would be...

Hope you like this chapter as our heroes are now in "unchartered territory"…having "invaded" the world of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, where the two protagonists are about to get embroiled in a series of mystery and murders, and the Unagi Yummy showing up is the first sign of trouble…

The four Greeds are together again, and Uva decided to go to Hinamizawa Village to know more about the place after hearing about the "syndrome" though he intends to find suitable hosts to spawn a Yummy of his own…

And what's this? Even though Ankh took possession of Shinichi Kudo's body…Ankh is now being possessed as he is compelled to do "good deeds" by attempting to stop Shion Sonozaki form killing, yet Ankh managed to regain control of the body…

Is Shinichi Kudo "awake" and tries to wrest control of his body from Ankh?

Preview:

Ankh and O's deal with the Unagi Yummy, and then meets up with more characters from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, where the the two will get to discover that Ai Haibara has sent an informer to investigate Hinamizawa, and partially sent information on the village's "hidden secret".
