Detective Conan x OOO: Hunt For The Mystical Medals
Kazari has shown up, and anew problem arises he gives Ankh an offer which he finds it very tempting to resist, and this would threaten to end the "alliance" between him and O's, with Kazari on the standby…
Jumping into the air, three energy rings of three different colors patterned after the core medals he have appeared while his legs now resembled that of a grasshopper, he descends downward and prepares to finish off the Yummy with the "Ta-To-Ba Kick". However, several support columns are thrown in the way to prevent the Neko Yummy from being destroyed as Ankh calls out the one responsible: Kazari, who is watching the fight all this time.
"Huh? Did that Yummy survived?"
"No…someone got in your way."
"Someone…A Greed?"
"Yes."
"Huh? Could it be the one you fought atHinamizawaVillage? The one you called Uva?"
"No…Uva's Yummies are patterned after insects…and the Yummy right now is patterned after a feline animal. Hey…stop hiding and show yourself…Kazari!"
By then Kazari came out of another pillar and revealed himself, in his Greed form.
"Hello, Ankh…long time no see…"
-x-
Wind blew soundly as both sides stood still as they are facing off against each other as O's, Ankh and Ai stood at the left side while at the right side, Kazari and the Neko Yummy appeared to be a bit neutral, not making a move as they wait for the other side to make their move before retaliating. By this time the Light Music Club arrived and are relieved to see Yui safe and saw the Neko Yummy, realizing that O's has succeeded in separating her from the monster.
"Yui!"
"Yui-chan!"
"She's saved"
"Onee-chan!"
"Everyone…help me get her up…we'd better get her to a safe place before that cat monster took her back!"
"Got it!"

28: Neko to Keiongaku shoujo to Kuishinbō part 6
After a few minutes of silence the tension commenced once more as Ankh made a few steps forward and spoke to Kazari, and the feline Greed answered back, in which their discussion has a tone of hostility, which O's and Ai sensed that the two Greed have known each other already and they braced themselves for any event that is about to happen.
"So, Kazari…sneaking around in the shadows…like you always do…that's so like you at all. And speaking of which…that thing that parasitizes its human host…that was your specialty, no?"
"How perceptive of you…still the same as you were 800 years ago…"
While the two are staring off, trouble increases as the Neko Yummy shoved the five girls aside and parasitizes Yui once more with Kazari stopping O's from pursuing with a warning hit, a blast made of a small tornado.
"Whoa!"
"Food…more food…"
"Oof!"
"Yui!"
"Oh no…that cat monster's possessed her again!"
"Onee-chan!"
"Hey…wait…come back here…"
"Back off, O's…or at least the human who uses O's powers…"
"WWWHHHOOAAFFF!"
Though Ankh wasn't hit, he realized that Kazari is here to get his Core Medal back as one of the medals that O's is using belonged to the feline Greed and gives O's the warning.
"Be careful! Kazari is here to get his Core Medal back!"
"Eh? Which one?"
"The yellow one!"
O's realized that the Tora Medal is what Ankh meant so he goes on a defensive stance but Kazari appeared to be in no mood to fight and spoke to them in a neutral manner.
"Now, now…no need to be so defensive…I have no intention to fight…"
"Eh?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes…now listen up. Though I'm missing a few Core Medals…I really don't believe you have them all. After all…look at yourself…regenerated only to a right forearm…forced to attach to a live human body…it's very degrading, no?"
"So what? At least I can move around without problems…"
"But there is another way…"
"Which is…?"
"Dump O's…you don't need him…humans are annoying to work with…and as a fellow Greed, why don't you join me?"
O's and Ai stared in surprise at what they just heard, and they are wondering what Kazari is up to and the next conversation would cause them to become very apprehensive.
"I'm sure you recall up until now…but it was O's who sealed us all…and this is the result of what we have become. As you see, it's not possible for you to work with him, and you know that well."
"What?"
"O's sealed the Greed? It's obviously a trick…Kyuji never did that…unless he meant someone else…that Kazari mentioned about "800 years" ago…"
"Ankh…in the past you stood out to me among the Greed…if you join me, the medal gathering would be more easy and efficient…and we'll both be completely regenerated. Sounds nice, no?"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm using O's because I have to. After all…you're right…I'm only revived as a right forearm. However, you do have a point that humans can be a bother. Maybe I can look up to your offer."
O's and Ai braced themselves as they realized that Ankh has betrayed them with Kazari about to make his move on the two.
"Then it's decided…you don't need O's…so now they are to be eliminated…"
"Hold on…while I do like your offer…there are some problems. Being a Greed yourself, much like I do…we do have some hostility dating back 800 years ago…so let me think carefully so I would come up with an answer without regret…and O's can be of use to us…after all…I have something that would keep him in line…he can gather the medals for us as well…so if I join you…at least spare him as he can be our "dog"…"
"I see…fine then, but don't take too long…I too can't be careful around you too…until you came with a decision…"
As Kazari appeared to take his leave, he unleashes another mini-tornado attack which again knocks O's down and there the Greed is out of sight with a parting word.
"Since you're a smart Greed…I do hope to expect a good answer from you."
After the "parting gift" from Kazari, who left minutes ago, Ai slowly helps Kyuji up, who appeared to be in bad shape after taking the hit, and she is starting to feel the tension after hearing the fact that Kazari offers Ankh a mutual partnership between the two of them. Although Ai gets a bit of relief because of the fact that, Ankh agreeing with the reasons of Kazari's offer, he asks his fellow Greed to leave to give him time to fully consider the proposition. At least she now has time to come up with a emergency measure should THAT come to that point.
"Are you alright?"
"Unnhh…The Greed…they're on a total different level than the Yummy…aren't they…? Kazari…he's the first I encountered…"
"What about the one called Uva?"
"Only Ankh encountered him…the cicada killer-type Yummy dragged me out before I get the chance to get a look at that Greed…when I got the free time and went back to that room…he was gone when I came back…"
"About the first part…I can see that since it was them who created the Yummy…so it's no surprise from me that they are on a stronger level than their creations…"
"You're right about that…it's not just raw strength…it's the quality of their power."
"Of course, you fools…the Greed are indeed on a different level because they are based on the Greeds' ability and what they are based from…and to let you know…there three more besides Kazari and myself…"
"What did you say…besides you and Kazari? And I thought Uva is the only one…"
"Then…there are five of you…?"
"That's right…but since you let me feast on your ice cream…I'll let you in on this one…remember the "bugs" that the Yummies are based on since our trip toHinamizawaVillage? They are based on Uva…he is an insect-type Greed whose ability is on electricity…Gameru…he is a heavy animal-type…he is the brute strength of us Greed…you'll get to meet him one day…then there's Mezuru…she is a marine-based Greed…and the one who used those children at Hinamizawa Village to spawned the eel and the candiru-type Yummies…"
"N-no way…"
"Five of them…"
Kyuji and Ai mentally pictured the scenario of the three of them facing O's of and feared it would cause a lot of casualties, but then a thought hit her and asked Ankh.
"Are they also after Core Medals like you?"
"Yes…and imagine this…if they obtain all nine of their Core Medals…what do you think would happen if that become a reality?"
"Nine Core Medals…?"
"If they gathered all of them then…no…they would devour everything…including this world…!"
"You can't be serious!"
"I am…and thanks to Kazari's words…if I can get to work with him…then it means I no longer need O's…but…I may consider sparing you from his wrath if you agree to help us gather more medals…at least you get to live…that's a consolation, right?"
"Ankh…"
"You forearmed fiend! So you intend to rid of everyone once you deemed them useless to you!"
"Say what you want, you little wench…be thankful I managed to keep Kazari from wasting him…as for you, Kyuji…if you want to save everyone…and this human body of "Mr. Detective Shinichi Kudo"…then how about you shut up and gather the medals…if you do that…that'll convince Kazari to keep you out of his paws' way…it's your call…so think about it before you act foolishly."
As Ai glared at Ankh, the Greed became more irritated when Kyuji gave his answer straight on and another word war between the two continued.
"I can't…that's my answer."
"You fool! You already saw it! Humans are nothing more than a mass of greed! If that's your calling, so be it! Save as many as you want for all I care…but know this…there'll be no end to them…you will eventually realize how futile your actions are…!"
"Maybe…sometimes we lose to greed, but…in the end…we…"
"Hah! "Lose to greed"? You really are foolish than I thought! Think that over carefully…or else you'll regret what you say…in the meantime…I'm taking my leave."
As Kyuji fell to his knees, Ai asked Ankh where he is going, only to see what the Greed had just replied as he waved the I-Phone in front of her.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"Where am I going, you say? I'll keep on studying this device, you little wench."
As Ankh took his leave, Ai slowly helped Kyuji up and both head back towards the main road, but then the girls from the Sakuragaoka High got to their feet and helped them while asking Ai what they should do next now that the Neko Yummy has taken Yui away again. Needing to find a way on how to locate her, Ai sends a Taka Candroid and gave Nodoka, and the other girls some instructions.
"See that mini mecha? Follow it and you'll find Yui. Keep a close eye on her but don't get in her way just yet. Observe first…but if she showed signs that her life is about to be threatened…call us."
"Okay…"
"We'll let you know…"
"We'll do our best…"
"Onee-chan!"
As the girls left to follow the Taka Candroid, Ai helped Kyuji towards the Ride Vendor and drive off towards Agasa's house while Vermouth smirked as she decided to follow Ankh to see if he is serious about accepting Kazari's offer though she heard that the two Greeds have some hostility dating back 800 years ago.
"Hmm…now this is an interesting development…looks like this is going to be more tan just medal hunting…it's also going to be a power struggle…so Shinichi…what will you do now…? Are you going to mentally intervene like last time…? Or are you going to stay still…?"
-x-
After 20 minutes have passed, the Yummy-possessed Yui is seen feasting on the food section inside a supermarket, with the Light Music Club following her and they are surprised to see what is happening: Yui is becoming aware of being possessed, and tries hard to resist the Yummy's control, with little success.
"Stop…it hurts…I don't want to eat anymore…!"
"Yui…she's aware of what's happening to her…"
"But she's not strong enough to resist that monster's urge…!"
"We should tell Kyuji and Ai-senpai about this! They're the only ones who can help her!"
"Onee-chan!"
-x-
As this is happening, the sounds of the Cell Medals are ringing and it attracted Ankh's attention, but he chose not to act yet and continues to study the I-Phone, amazed at how much information it provides him, and all he did is wait for the right moment when he senses that the Yummy has amassed enough Cell Medals for him to consume.
"That's right…eat more! Eat and save up…you'll do a lot of good to me…and I'll have enough medals to keep me going until I get my Core Medals back and regain my full body back…then I won't be needing this human shell anymore…"
Ankh then resumes his attention in studying the I-Phone, and by this time he is able to learn how to navigate himself in using it, and now he knows what to do as he gained a considerable knowledge in gathering data by using the I-Phone and other modern technology gadgets.
"I see…this is pretty interesting. Now I know what to do from here on…with this little device…I can obtain massive amount of data…and this is quite an equivalent of collecting Cell Medals. Moreover…this really saves me a lot of time and the trouble of flying around."
While Ankh is busy resuming his study on the device, he is unaware that he is being watched, wo turned out to be Shintaro Gotoh of the Kougami Foundation, as he has been tracking him since the appearance of the Neko Yummy, in which he sends footage of the Greed, who has finally understood how the I-Phone works, thus forcing Kougami to change his tactics once he realizes what Ankh has achieved so far.
-x-
At the office of the Kougami Foundation, Kousei Kougami is now talking with his secretary, Erika Satonaka about what to do next.
"Hmm…a very interesting development…yet this is unbelievable, Satonaka. He has now obtained a considerable amount of knowledge about this era…thus we can't be straightforward in dealing with the Greed named Ankh. After seeing how the other Greed named Kazari giving his fellow kind an irresistible offer, we need to consider our next step and future plans depending on what would happen next."
"Which is…?"
"Whether he abandons O's or not."
"Well, Mr. President…we have quite a few choices…"
"There is only one…and I mean there is only one path for me to choose!"
-x-
Meanwhile, at a Pizza Hut restaurant, trouble is steadily increasing as Yui is still being force fed due to the Yummy's growing control, which in turn she attracts a crowd of bystanders who happened to see her through the glass window, and the Light Music Club watches helplessly as they wait for Ai and Kyuji to arrive. Just then, four policemen arrived after being notified by the restaurant manager of this and the four cops are surprised to see her state.
"Young lady…what are you doing? Don't you know the state you're in?"
"If you keep this up, your stomach will explode…you may end up bleeding to death!"
"Help me! I'm being possessed! I'm eating against my will! Help me stop myself!"
"What did she say?"
"Whatever…we got to save her from her own gluttony!"
Although confused by her statement, the four cops decided to try and restrain her but they were promptly thrown aside, two of them crashing through the glass window and smashed outside the street.
Back at the park, Ankh is still busy browsing the I-Phone and saw the uploaded photos of Yui which the bystanders took her pictures and posted it to the Internet, notifying him of the Yummy's completion.
"Yes…she looked ripe enough for me to take the medals from her…"
-x-
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the Agasa house where Hiroshi Agasa is watching something from his PC monitor where the footages of Ankh possessing and de-possessing Shinichi's body, as well as Ankh using Shinichi's body to switch between his normal form and his "child" form, and he wondered aloud on when Shinichi would recover from his coma and how long will Ankh keep on possessing the teen detective's body. As he stretched his arms and turned around, he is surprised to see that Ran Mori is there, and heard him say what he said just now and saw the footage of Shinichi switching in between forms.
"Did I hear you…say that…? And the footage from your PC…is that true…?"
"Er…ahh…um…"
To Be Continued…
Looks like the trouble has further intensified as Ankh is on the verge of leaving the Detective Conan crew, after considering Kazari's offer, which means that he is going to turn against our heroes and will use Shinichi's body as a hostage. Moreover, he now has gotten the hang of the I-Phone and this makes him even more of a threat.
Yui is also on the verge of death as the Neko Yummy is making her reach her limit, and unless Kyuji and Ai get there on time, she will be the next anime character to die after the last arc involving the cast from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
And Ran Mori has finally discovered Shinichi's current predicament. This will certainly put more conflict for our heroes…
Preview:
Kazari shows up and Ankh gives his answer…and this means the moment of truth…will he join his fellow Greed and rule the world…? Or stay with O's and continue to find medals using his help?…
