The final chapter of this arc, and this will end all of the explosive chapters while O's gets a new Candroid that would help him in his future battles against the Yummies, but right before Ankh and Ai finds the remaining bombs then he can rejoin O's in getting his share of medals...

After leaving the building, Ai contacted Ankh and tells him that she has diffused the bomb and is on her way to find the rest, which Ankh did not respond as he went for the nearest skyscraper he could find after a Taka Candroid led him there and now he can get to work as the Greed is starting to get a bit bored at risking his own in finding and diffusing the first bomb. He couldn't wait to put an end to this as he rather hunt the Yummies for the Cell Medals, and the Greed in hopes that one of them have HIS Core Medals.

Anything Goes by Maki Oghuro

64: Chō kōsō biru, jikken, shinpei-ki part 5

Several more minutes later, Ankh arrived at the third skyscraper and immediately sent the Taka Candroids to go to the first few top floors and the basement just in case so that they won't waste valuable time like the last time, and Shinichi's consciousness smiled at seeing the Greed adapting to his detective intuition and decided to let him take over for now. Ankh then called for the owner of the building and tells him to evacuate the skyscraper because of the bomb threat, however, the owner dismisses it at first resulting in an argument.

"Are you the owner?"

"Yes, I am…"

"Then evacuate this building…a bomb is about to explode…"

"Are you bluffing? There is no such thing…"

"I mean it!"

"And I say you're a fraud!"

"You…!"

"V, w, x, y, and z…now you know the ABC…now leave before I call the police…!"

Getting impatient, Ankh reveals his "monster arm" and tells him to evacuate the building or he'll "kill everyone" inside the building. The owner is scared by this and reluctantly did what he is told, telling his staff members to get everyone inside the building evacuated as Ankh heads off towards the upper grounds as he sent Taka Candroids to go to the rest of the upper floors and at the basement just in case, as per instruction from Shinichi having recalled the earlier building which the bomb is found on the basement level.

"Ankh…wait…"

"What is it now?"

"I think there's a pattern…"

"And why is that…?"

As Ankh asked why, Shinichi reasoned that based on what Ai told him, Teiji set the bombs on areas which he thinks neither Ankh or Shinichi himself would expect where the bombs are hidden, and felt that it may have became a pattern so as to prevent bomb squad members from finding the bombs that they think are likely to be found.

As Ankh is nearing the 20th floor, he tells Shinichi which floor he thinks is likely being placed, reminding him that the first bomb is found on the basement level and Ai found the 2nd bomb at the penthouse level. By then Shinichi thought about it carefully and Ankh slowly deduced that the 3rd bomb is at the "middle".

"The middle portion…"

"What?"

"If you say the first bomb's in the bottom…the second one at the top…then the third one's at the middle portion…"

"Hmm…worth a try…"

Shinichi took Ankh's words carefully and they head for the 50th floor and there they sent a Taka Candroid to find the hidden bomb and there they found it hidden at a storage room, but to Shinichi's surprise, the bomb's timer is ticking down to 1:10, and Ankh looked from left to right, seeing that both sides' fire exit doors are too far and may took much of the time reaching either side, but then the Greed thought of something.

"Heh…then there's no other choice…"

Breaking through a room, Ankh enters it and found a window and his monster right arm "manifested" and smashed a hole, and seeing that the timer is ticking down to 20 seconds, the Greed held the bomb as he detaches himself from Shinichi's body and flew through the broken window's hole and went up in the sky, and with 10 seconds ticking down, the Greed threw the bomb up high and then quickly flew back to the building, attaching himself onto Shinichi's body just as the bomb exploded in the sky.

KKKKAAAAA-BBBBBOOOOOMMM!

Ankh can feel the explosion and after a few more the seconds the bomb was reduced to debris and the building is saved, and now he can leave the building and focus on the remaining ones. As Ankh sneaks out of the building via the fire exit, he gets a compliment from Shinichi for his quick thinking though the Greed tries to brush off the praise.

"Nice one…you learn pretty fast from me…"

"Bah…don't rub it on me…"

"Just complimenting you…"

"Whatever!"

"Be a sport…"

"I'll kill you once I get my body back…"

"I'll be waiting for that…"

As Ankh reached the ground floor, he paused briefly as he saw the bomb squad of the SWAT team coming to search for the bomb, and he went towards the alternate exit as he didn't want to waste time with them knowing that he'll be pestered with questions so he went around and found the Ride Vendor, slots in a Cell Medal, and transform it into its motorcycle form and went on his way. While cruising, he got a call from Ai and the information sent to him is good news to his ears.

"Ankh!"

"What is it now?"

"The final two bombs are found and deactivated!"

"Good…how did you do it?"

Ai informs him that Heiji Hattori arrived just as she did and they searched for the bomb and the Taka Candroid she sent has found it at the kitchen area and there she and Heiji immediately disarmed it and saved the 4th skyscraper, and moments after that Heiji got a call from Juzo Megure, who told him that he happened to be at the 5th skyscraper and there he is approached by a concerned tenant, who found a strange item at the basement area of the 5th skyscraper and he immediately checked it, and discovered it to be a bomb. He immediately called for the bomb disposal unit and soon the bomb has been disarmed, and the building saved.

"Okay…you can go and help Kyuji!"

"Good…"

Smirking, Ankh now has nothing more to worry about and he heads for the Kougami Biotech Laboratories so he can assist Kyuji in finding the Yummies without any more distractions.

The scene shifts inside the Kougami Biotech Laboratories, where O's had just defeated two Same Yummies, but then another showed up and is after a pair of people – a father and his daughter, who are heading for the nearest exit. As O's is about to act, he saw Maki standing there watching and is holding a device where he presses it and a door slides down, blocking the exit door and there the Yummy devours the two, much to O's shock and there he confronted Maki fir his actions.

"No! Why did you do that?"

"To see an ending…"

"You call that an "ending"?"

"Yes…for all good things must come to an end…but if you wish to see a beginning, take this…"

By then, Maki brought out the Lion Candroid and tells O's that if he uses it in conjunction with the Ride Vendor, it would give the Yummies a "satisfying ending". As O's took the Candroid, he punched the wall which almost hit a rather startled Maki, and in the process his puppet fell from his left arm, just as O's pulled his fist from the wall, having composed himself after venting his rage after seeing Maki's action that resulted in the death of a worker and his daughter.

"Thank you for that…but you'd better stay away from me…and if you pull another stunt like that…the next one will be your face…"

"Kyuji!"

"Ankh!"

"The bombs are deactivated…Teiji Moriya's captured…"

"Thank goodness…"

"Go deal with the Yummies! I'll deal with the nest!"

By then, Ankh arrived and tells O's that the bombs have been diffused and that the Yummy's nest is somewhere inside the building and the two split up to go after their targets, leaving Maki behind as he realized that his puppet, whom he calls "Kiyo-chan", had fallen off his left arm and began to exhibit Stutter-like tendencies as he frantically tries to get his puppet back on his arm.

"Ah…K-K-Kiyo-chan…c-c-c-come back…I-I-I-I'll s-s-s-save y-y-y-you…!"

Meanwhile, Gotoh decided to use a laptop from one of the trapped workers to try and override the security codes that Maki used, and was able to unlock the security doors and this enables the workers to get out of the building as he decided to keep the Same Yummies back at bay by firing at them and have them run towards the other directions so as to give the workers time to head for the nearest exit.

"There! I've unlocked the codes! You can get out now!"

"Thanks!"

"Just go!"

-x-

As the fighting continues, Ankh has found the nest and uses his monster hand to pull a large wire from its socket and then douses it with water and then threw the exposed wire at the nest, causing it to get electrocuted and the nest, along with the developing eggs, are destroyed, leaving Cell Medals in its wake, which Ankh graciously consumes them without hassle.

"Ah…what a feast…!"

After that he took his leave so as to see how Kyuji is doing dealing with the remaining Yummies.

-x-

Meanwhile, O's is having difficulties in dealing with four remaining Yummies and is trying to catch up with them and yet the Yummies are able to outwit and slowly pin him down, just as Ankh arrived, seeing that he has to bail his "pawn" out but then Maki shows up and gives him some unexpected verbal help, having seen enough "endings" and wanted to see more of O's power up close now he has the Lion Candroid is in his possession.

"If you use the Lion Candroid on the Ride Vendor…you can deal with the Yummies with greater results…"

O's and Ankh looked skeptical yet he decided to try it out and activated the Lion Candroid and it made its way towards the Ride Vendor in motorcycle mode, and soon the Ride Vendor has taken the form of a hybrid of vehicle and lion-like appearance, and is dubbed the "To-Ride Vendor", which he hopped on, but the new mecha appeared to be feral and runs wildly, which O's has difficulty in taming it, much to Ankh's surprise.

"That fool…he'd better make good use of it…!"

-x-

As Gotoh checks the building for any more workers around, he saw the four Same Yummies "swimming" away, with O's going after them with the To-Ride Vendor following and Gotoh narrowly evaded the path and realized that Maki's Lion Candroid has merged with the Ride Vendor, yet he is baffled as to why O's has them and why Kougami consented to this.

"That guy…why is Kougami going that far to give that total stranger access to the weapons?"

As O's is trying to regain control of the mecha, Maki's voice spoke through the speakers attached within the building and gives him another piece of advice.

"Use the yellow combo you used on the bridge…and you can tame it with the excess energy you show off… "

Seeing that he has no other choice, he removes the Sabaru Medal and replaces it with the Cheetah Medal, and assumes "Ra-Tora-Tah" combo, and its excess energy is instantly fed to the To-Ride Vendor, finally taming it as well as giving O's more control over the mecha and now he can deal with the remaining Yummies with ease. The chase then leads them out of the building and towards the road as the four Yummies decided to face their pursuers and there the mecha took one of them and disembowels it while O's uses the "Scanning Charge", the Shining Slash Strike, and the Yummies are defeated. Ankh arrived and is pleased with the amount of Cell Medals the Yummies left and took them, leaving 60% behind for Kougami's men to pick up.

-x-

Back at Maki's office, he saw the scene on his monitor and wondered if O's can provide the "ending" he craved for, but is nevertheless pleased with the data he has accumulated and decided to keep an eye on him to see if he can discover more things he could find so as to come up with a "perfect ending", unmindful of several cleaning crew outside, cleaning the mess that the Yummies and O's left behind.

-x-

Meanwhile, Vermouth is just a block away from the Kougami Biotech Laboratories, seeing that she has found some obstacles that would impede Ankh's activities and wondered if the Black Organization is going to make their move having accumulated a lot of Ride Vendors and Cell Medals, yet she is not in a hurry, preferring that things would take its course in a steady pace.

To Be Continued…

This ends the Time-Bomb Skyscraper arc and hope you readers enjoyed this arc, as O's gets a new weapon and a new character is introduced that would give our heroes something to watch out for.
