This arc comes to an end as O's finally gets to confront a human centipede and see how he is able to handle it as the Yummy inside Heiter finally awakened...and how the end would be resolved on what would happen in the end…

As the children followed the Taka Candroid towards the path leading to the road, O's resumes his attention towards Kazari as he is about to crawl out of the pool and there he sends three Candroids, two Taka and a Tako, which then distracts the Greed which gives O's an idea to take out the enemy and took out the O-Scanner and scans the three Core Medals as he decided to take the chance to weaken the Greed and hoped to take any of his Core Medals from him.

"Okay...go for broke..."

O-Belt: "SCANNING CHARGE!"

O's then jumps into the pool as his "Lion head" shone brightly and hot along with the Tora claws after jumping from the ground with his legs in the form of a grasshopper and struck down the Greed which the impact is so strong that the pool "exploded" with the water boiling and Kazari is thrown out and rolled downward towards the ground leading to the open road while dropping the Sabaru and Ocelot Medals which O's picked up.

"Okay!"

Seeing that there is no more trouble here, O's heads for the mansion and hoped that both Ankh and Ai are doing fine, unaware that the Yummy inside Heiter is about to get ready to come out and assault the two.

The scene shifts to the downhill ground where Kazari rolls downward and managed to use his claws to rake the soil to halt his rolling and slowly gets up, as his body armor disappeared after losing two more Core Medals yet he is able to keep his cool and remained optimistic that things would work well despite the setback he just received.

"Enjoy your win for now, O's…but you'll be crying in the end once My Yummy awakens…and you'll be forced to kill a fellow human once you see that human's latest creation…and let's see if you could bring yourself to kill a fellow human if you are to save other humans…I hope that result would demoralize you…and there I'll strike you while you're open so I can get my Core medals back…and kill you…"

With that, the feline-Greed slowly walked away until reaching the main road where a passing motorcycle passes by and Kazari jumped on, beheading the driver while stealing the vehicle as he uses it to head back to Tokyo to recuperate from his loss at the hands of O's.

Due to the fact that he lost two more of his Core Medals to O's the second time, Kazari decided to retreat for now as he stole the motorcycle of the passing motorist as he heads back to Tokyo, passing the Detective Boys who just arrived at the main road and failed to notice the feline Greed speeding of so they decided to wait for another passing vehicle to show up and there they would wave for help.

Meanwhile, O's switched Core Medals and assumed the "Ta-To-Ba" combo and continued to head for the mansion-like house to find Ankh and Ai, hoping that they are fine, but he is unaware that Heiter is already being half-possessed by the Yummy inside him which is partially manifested with the scalpel-like claws and scales on his cheeks which O's had no idea what awaits him inside yet all he cared for now is to find the two before trouble befalls them.

"I hope Shiho and Ankh are doing fine…and I hope that they managed to take down the culprit…assuming that the culprit is only one…"

The scene shifts inside the makeshift medical ward as a half-possessed Heiter laughed maniacally as he took out his remote device and pressed a button where he took control of the first human centipede that consists of three adult humans (Katsuhiro, Jenny and Lindsay) and there the crazed surgeon gives his command and orders them to attack both Ai and Ankh to death.

"Now my pets…show your creator why I gave you life…kill these blasphemy-critics and show them why I created you…do it for me! I order you to kill! Bring me their heads on a silver platter and do not disobey me as you have no right to! Kill…kill…KILL! HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Seeing this, Ankh willed Conan's body and slowly assumed the form of Shinichi and revealed his monster hand and is getting ready to fight, much to Ai's apprehension as she sees what the Greed is about to do and asked him to reconsider yet all she gets is an apprehensive rebuttal which does make sense given their situation.

"Ankh…try not to hurt them…!"

"Like I care!"

"You know we can't risk hurting them!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Either we fight or else ended up getting conjoined with those things! Imagine it, you wench…if we ended up eating their feces!"

"There has to be a way!"

"Then think while I hold them off!"

"Darn!"

As Ai thinks of a way to get them both out, she is taken by surprise as the other human centipede, which consists of 12 children fused together, appeared and pinned her down, while being choked to death as she realized that Heiter's device is also implanted in them as well and the possessed Heiter started to waltz around, expressing joy that his "creations" are a success.

"Gaakk…don't…!"

"Blast it…! Why do I always have to do everything…?"

Seeing this, Ankh punched the adult human centipede back and went for the other human centipede and punched them back and Ai is saved though she berated him for his action which resulted in a verbal argument.

"You didn't have to be THAT rough…"

"Is that what I get for saving your sorry self?"

"I'm grateful…but what do we do now? We can't risk hurting them…"

"Got a better idea?"

"Let's grab Heiter's device…"

"Fine…huh? Look who just arrived…"

By this time O's arrived and entered the makeshift ward where he is horrified at the sight before him at seeing the two human centipedes standing before him and there Ai debriefs him on what is really going on and there O's slowly grasps all of what has happened at the past several weeks and why children went missing and that a German-born surgeon renowned for separating conjoined twins doing the opposite in a diabolical way.

"No…so this is why the children went missing…"

"And that guy is a whacko…"

"We'd better deal with him and then restrain his creations…"

"That won't be easy…look…the Yummy inside him is about to wake up…"

"Eh?"

By then Ankh interjects and tells O's that Heiter is the Yummy's host by pointing out his scalpel-like hands and said that the Yummy would take over the surgeon's body anytime but then the conversation is interrupted as Heiter shouts at his "pets" to attack and kill the intruders which made the trio go on the defensive.

"My pets…go and kill them!"

The adult human centipede then tackled O's which causes Ai and Ankh to back away while O's managed to hold on his own and started to push it back though he is taking care not to hurt them seeing that they are only being controlled and decided to use Taka Medal's power to find the device so he could remove them and free the victims from Heiter's control. He kept on scanning until he found where the device is implanted and is thinking of a way to remove it without killing them.

"Blast…the device is implanted right behind their napes that connected to their spinal cords…I've got to think of a way to get them out of their bodies…"

However, Heiter finally loses control of himself as the Yummy inside him takes over, enveloping the surgeon with Cell Medals and after 30 seconds, the crazed surgeon is consumed by the Yummy as it finally matures, revealing itself as the Persian Neko Yummy, and unlike the Neko Yummy, it's build is slender and appeared to be very agile. Ankh can sense the Cell medals inside the Yummy and realize that it would pose a threat as it heads for O's.

"Kyuji! Watch out! The Yummy is stronger than the Neko Yummy and is heading for you!"

The Persian Neko Yummy then struck O's with its scalpel-like claws and with the adult human centipede holding him down, O's is like a target being stuck and Ankh tells Ai to deal with the 12-children centipede as he heads off to assist Kyuji, which she looked around and saw a net which she threw it at them and then tied it together so s it won't escape, and now this leaves the adult human centipede to deal with.

"Sorry about this, kids…but it's for your own good…but after this is over…you'll be restored…"

The scene then shifts back to O's as he deals with the human centipede by shoving it back and then deals with the Persian Neko Yummy and the two fought fiercely and yet the Yummy gets the upper hand and sends O's reeling back and there the human centipede got up and held O's, where the Yummy threw its hands and fired scalpels at its target, which O's instinctively dodged them, but it also resulted in hitting the human centipede, hitting Katsuhiro, Jenny and Lindsay on their heads which penetrated their brains, thus killing them on the spot and both Shiho and O's are horrified at what just happened.

"No!"

"Oh no…they got killed…"

Realizing that he has to end this, O's is forced to use brute force as he began to fight back, but with the scalpels being fired, O's needed something to shift the tide in his favor so he took out two of Kazari's Core Medals and exchanged them with the Taka and Batta Medals and then scans them with the O-Scanner to assume a "sub-combo form" to deal with the Yummy while getting the "victim" out without harming him in the process.

O-Belt: "LION…TORA…SABARU!"

After a few seconds O's assumes "Ra-Tora-Ru" and then uses the Lion Medal's power to blind the Yummy, which worked and then uses the Sabaru Medal's kick power as did a strong forward kick which the impact "spits" Heiter out of the Persian Neko Yummy's body and this in turn disoriented the monster as O's took the opportunity as he scans the three Core Medals with the O-Scanner.

O-Belt: "SCANNING CHARGE!"

O's ran towards the Yummy whose "lion head" shone brightly which again blinded the monster as he jumps up and does a flying side kick which hits the Yummy squarely and then exploded, leaving nothing but Cell Medals which Ankh immediately took and absorbs them and there he is energized as he collected all of them while O's removes the Core Medals from the O-Belt and reverted back to normal, just as Ai ties up a knocked out Heiter.

"Is the surgeon…?"

"Knocked out but alive…though I doubt if he's eligible for trial given his mental capacity…"

"Then…how would his victims' relatives get justice for all that he has done…?"

"Let the courts decide on this…"

Just then, Kogoro Mori, Heiji Hattori and a lot of police officers arrived as they are led by Hiroshi Agasa, which a brief flashback scene shows that Agasa found the Detective Boys and the escaped children and there he called Kogoro Mori and informed them of what happened and by chance Kogoro and Heiji passed by the area along with the Hiraizumi police and there Genta led the adults to where the others are. Kogoro then saw what is inside and Heiji was shocked by what he saw, and turned around as he vomited as he is unable to stomach the sight of the two human centipedes.

"HHHHWWWWAARRRGGGHHH!"

"Easy, Hattori…easy…I can't believe what I'm seeing…Ai…you know about this…?"

"Yes…"

"Then tell us all you know…"

"It's a long one…and I doubt your stomach would withstand what I'm about to tell…"

"I'm ready to listen…"

Ankh hid himself away from sight until Hiroshi led him to a safe place to hide until the cops left and there he offered him a ride in his van and the two left as Kyuji and Ai had to stay behind as they are being questioned by Kogoro about the events that happened earlier as the Detective Boys decided to back Kyuji up so as to further explain everything.

-x-

A week later, the scene shifts to the Agasa house as Kyuji and Shiho are still glancing at the window as the rain slowly came to a stop yet they knew that the storm would leave Japan by tomorrow and Ankh is still browsing the I-Pad top find possible places to find his Core Medals, and then Hiroshi came after getting a phone call. He then called everyone and they all assembled as Hiroshi tells them that Kogoro called and told him that Heiter is killed outside the airport as he is run over by a taxi as he attempted to escape from his police escort while being brought to German police who are here at the Tokyo Airport to fetch him as he has a warrant of arrest at Germany is then revealed that he conducted illegal experiments on children there and their corpses are found.

"So…Heiter has found a way out…ironic."

"Well…look at the bright side, Kyuji…at least…he won't get to make more horrible experiments…in the future…"

"But what about the victims' relatives…? I wonder if they'll accept this…"

"I guess…"

"What happens in the future is irrelevant…at least we got something good…"

"Coming from you Ankh…all you care are Core Medals…"

"So what?"

"Shiho…Ankh…come on…let's put this behind us…"

"He's right…wait…not that I care…but what has happened to the two conjoined centipedes?"

"Well…what Kyuji said is right…and what Ankh said is true…something good did happened…oh, about the 12 children…they are doing fine…"

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

"Really, professor…?"

While Kyuji and Shiho had mixed feelings about Heiter's passing, Ankh couldn't careless yet he asked Hiroshi about the fate of the human centipedes, which the inventor gladly answered that things went well for the victims of Heiter's experiments, as the 12 children are back to normal.

"Doctors in Japan and from several foreign countries waivered their fees and jointly conducted an operation which they successfully separated the kids and now they are healing physically well. They even send counseling to help the kids overcome the traumas they underwent so that they would move on. As for the three adults, our fellow Japanese, Katsuhiro is given a proper burial while the two female Americans, named Lindsay and Jenny, are being sent back to America so that their relatives can claim them and have them buried."

While Shiho and Kyuji are relieved to hear this, Ankh glances at the window and wondered if he could ever find his own Core medals yet he expresses hope that he would find them soon. He nevertheless is happy that he got more Core medals from his fellow Greed to add to his collections, as this would put the rest in a handicap and thus makes it easier to defeat them. By then he began to eat the ice cream bars that Shiho promised, as she kept her word and the Greed is "rewarded" for his part, and Ankh is nevertheless fine with what has happened recently.

To Be Continued…

A bittersweet ending to this arc, while the children are saved, three adults lost their lives, while Heiter "escaped" police custody in Germany that would deny its victims the right to justice, but at least he won't be doing any more experimental misdeeds in the foreseeable future.

Moreover, O's once more got two more Core Medals from Kazari and this certainly gives him an added boost in his fight against the other Greed.

Preview:

What else will I be offering…? We're going to the next story arc!

And the next story arc is going to be based on the Detective Conan movie, The Time Bombed Skyscraper, and this means that the antagonist of that movie, Teiji Moriya, will be there as well, as that arc will take place AFTER the movie, so Teiji's going to plot a revenge on Shinichi Kudo for ruining his plans, but what he doesn't know that Shinichi is currently being possessed by Ankh.

Also, the arc also focuses on the Kougami Foundation as you are going to see what the Foundation is like on the inside and how they created weapons based on the Cell Medals.
