A new arc for this fic, which means a new guest character to appear, but more than anything this arc will serve as a prelude to the next arc as the events that will happen here will serve as a precursor. More on that will be shown below/…but right now enjoy what's about to happen here in this chapter…

-x-

In the previous arc, a few things happened…

O - Kyuji and the rest discovered that Teiji Moriya has indeed escaped and is now hiding with the intent of getting revenge on Shinichi Kudo and to cause more explosions within Tokyo;

O - Discovering that Teiji is hiding at the Kougami Biotech Laboratories, Kyuji goes there to deal with the Yummies while Ankh follows Teiji where he captured him and learned through his journal the targeted buildings where the bombs are planted;

O - After diffusing the bombs with Ai Haibara and Vermouth's help, Ankh resumed aiding O's in destroying the Yummies' nest and the Same Yummies.

At a building somewhere in Tokyo, a writers' convention took place where several writers from all over the world attended, and there they displayed their latest novels, but one writer wasn't able to show its latest work, and became a subject of ridicule and taunting, mainly due to "writer's block". The scene zoomed towards the writer in question, revealing to be Nenene Sumiregawa.

"That's her?"

"Yes…IT IS her…"

"What's her name?"

"Nenene Sumiregawa…"

"What happened to her?"

"Looks like she ran out of ideas…now she's stuck in a rut…"

Nenene was one of Japan's leading writers and authors of several-well-renowned novels, but for some reason she felt the loss of interest in making new series of novels, and the ridicule she got from her peers is enough for her to get her talent back on track and struggles to find inspiration to restart her career, thus her desire to start writing again and to find inspiration. She answered back at her detractors and assured to them that she will prove them wrong.

"Looks like you're losing your eyesight as well as Alzheimer's Disease…"

"Hey! I'm not!"

"Then retire…you have no place in this business…"

"I still do! Just you wait! I'll show that I still have what it takes…!"

"I'll look forward to that…even though you're already getting obsolete…"

"And I'll prove you wrong!"

However, among the crowd, one person is watching Nenene intently and is now sure that she is the perfect prospect to use her to spawn a Yummy and harvest Cell Medals.

"Heh…looks like I found myself a catch…"

- Taka Medal

- Misago Medal!

- Tora Medal

Meanwhile, Kyuji and Ankh are were doing some errands and are on their way back to Agasa's house when the two started to bicker over the Core Medals and Ankh's habit of eating ice cream instead of nutritious foods. Of course the Greed is a bit peeved when being lectured but had to put up with his "pawn's" lecture.

"Hey, Ankh…try to slow down on the ice cream! You'll give Detective Kudo a sore throat…"

"As long as I'm controlling this vessel…he won't…"

"Seriously…try to eat some meat…"

"Fine…but no bird meat!"

"You mean you'll avoid fried chicken?"

"DON'T REMIND ME OF THAT! And remember to find my Core Medals!"

"Of course I will…"

"And don't forget not to use straight combos right away…only on important strategies…"

"I know…I know…"

"Good…huh?"

"What's wrong…"

"These humans…"

Their argument is interrupted when four men blocked their way and looked liked rabid muggers as they are eyeing at them intently which Kyuji wondered if each of them are possessed by a Yummy, assuming that Kazari is behind this knowing his Yummies are parasitic and controls the bodies, and wondered if the feline-Greed succeeded in making four of them, but Ankh refutes the claim.

"They're eyeing us…It seems that Kazari has put Yummies on them…four at once…"

"No…I don't sense Yummies in them…therefore Kazari's not involved…"

"Seriously?"

"Of course…remember the bombings? That Maki-person you thought is the Yummy's host? You made the wrong assumption and I was able to correct you…so this I tell you…these four are not possessed by Kazari's Yummies…"

"Thank goodness…"

"But be on guard…look out!"

But in spite of Ankh's answers, the four men began to act violently and assaulted the two, and to the Greed's surprise, each of them displayed some superhuman-like abilities which Kyuji believed to be that of a Yummy and again Ankh refutes the theory, reminding him that he doesn't detect the Yummies' auras and began to kick his attackers back with Kyuji doing the same. While the two managed to defend themselves, the two became disturbed at seeing the four men displaying superhuman strength when one of them lifts a huge mailbox and hurled it against them.

"Watch out, Ankh!"

BLAG!

Ankh barely evaded the debris as he and Kyuji regrouped and are now considering other option in dealing with the threat, which the Greed now considers that there are other enemies besides the Yummies.

"What is this? How can a mere human be able to lift that object that is twice his size?"

"We got no choice…the next one might lift and hurl a car at us! Give me the Core Medals! I might subdue them!"

"Blast it! Even though there are no Yummies…fine! Here, use these!"

As Kyuji puts on the O-Driver, Ankh gives him three of Mezeru's Core Medals and the teen vagabond scans them with the O-Scanner to initiate his transformation into O's while Ankh is a bit worried that he might get a new combo which might hamper him should he remained in that form for too long and hoped it would just be a random, sub-combo.

O-Scanner: "SHUMOKUZAME…MOFU…IKA!"

O's armor materializes and his armor has blue accents which his helmet has the form of a hammerhead shark while his arms has the attributes of a manta ray and his legs possesses the ability of a squid. O's assumes the sub-combo of "Shu-Mofu-Ka".

After glancing at O's, Ankh noted that despite possessing the appearance the first two combos like the "Gata-Kiri-Ba" and the "Ra-Tora-Tah", he can sense that O's current form is not that strong so he hoped that it stays that way.

"Good…now use them to knock these humans down!"

"I'm on it!"

By then the four intruders began to attack, which O's and Ankh divided them, attacking them in pairs, with O's using his helmet, in the form of a hammerhead, to head-butt the two, while Ankh uses his monster hand to rake and slash the other two, which, despite wounding them, did little to discourage them. Ankh has never encountered something like this before and slowly deduced that humanity has indeed evolved in the past 800 years, and he wondered if the Kougami Foundation has any hand in this.

"I wonder if that Kougami has any idea on this…he seem to know about us Greeds and the medals…I suppose he has some knowledge on how these humans evolved in a physical way…"

Meanwhile, O's is having a hard time holding back, as the two attackers are getting the upper hand, as they displayed their superhuman strengths and he could feel their blows resonating within his armor, so he is forced to use the power of the Mofu Medals and stings them to keep them back, but to his surprise, the two did not back away, nor they reacted in pain. All they do is roar and growl, looking ready to go for another strike, which O's is rattled by the sight before him.

"Great…maybe I should use a bit of excessive force in order to knock them down…guess I'll have to give it a try…"

However, as he is about to scan the Core Medals with the O-Scanner to activate the "Scanning Charge", something happened to the four attackers, as they stopped on their tracks they clutched their bodies, which they started to shiver and convulsed. As Ankh looks on, the four attackers began to cry out in pain and each of the four fell to the ground, looking like they had some sort of withdrawal syndrome before they went still.

"AAAARRRGGHHH!"

"UUUURRRHHH!"

"NNNNGGGYYYAAAHHH!"

"AAAAIIIIIIEEEE!"

"Ankh! What just happened?"

"How should I know?"

"Did you do anything to them?"

"Like I care! If it's me…then I would've done something already…look at them…they're in pain because of themselves! I didn't do anything that caused them to die!"

As O's and Ankh argued, the two became surprised as the four corpses began to grow fur all over their bodies while cat-like claws grew and showed up in place of their fingernails. As O's removed the Core Medals and reverted back to normal, Ankh looked carefully, wondering what kind of "phenomenon" is this as he has never encountered something like this before, and he is now considering checking this out since he knew humans can't acquire superhuman abilities through normal means.

"It seems that humanity has indeed evolved…it appears that someone has made them mutated to some degree…"

"Who would do something this horrible to them?"

"Horrible? Hah! As if you know what just happened to them…! Fine…I'll see what I can find out…!"

Using his ability, Ankh "scans" through the corpses' bodies, he discovered that the four bodies' vital organs have "exploded" including their brain, and now he is definitely disturbed by this. He tells Kyuji what he found and things are now perplexing than before.

"It seems that their vital organs…including their brains…exploded internally…and I believe something made them to do so…"

"Huh? How?"

"If I know…then I'd already told you…!"

"Could it be that they ingested something…?"

By then a passing police car came and saw the scene and asked them what just happened. Shinichi Kudo's consciousness mentally spoke to Ankh and gave him ideas on making a good alibi and the Greed is forced to follow Shinichi's lead and tells the officers what happened, and even showed to them the claws and fur, and one of the officers looked at the corpses, and slowly recognized them and realized that this is a "unique" case.

"Looks like I encountered something like these elsewhere…okay…you're off the hook."

"Are you sure…?"

"Yup…no weapons on the two…and these corpses are just like the ones I saw at Yokohama…"

"Fine…okay, you two can go…"

"Thanks…"

"…"

"Just go home, okay…?"

"Sure…"

Because of this, the officers let Kyuji and Ankh off the hook and the two leaves the scene as minutes later a police van arrived to take the bodies to the morgue, just before a crowd arrived as they saw the van taking the bodies away.

To Be Continued…

Okay…by now you know that the guest character of this arc is one of the support characters from the manga/anime, ROD The TV. However, the fight scene is what took most of this chapter, yet this doesn't have any relevance to this arc's plot. But as I stated above, this arc serves as a precursor, meaning the events that happened in this chapter will lead to the next arc, so until then, enjoy this arc for now.

Preview:

The next chapter will focus mainly on Nenene Sumiregawa, as Uva takes advantage of her "depression" to create a Yummy that would "help" her get her act together, while, Shintaro Gotoh gets into a conflict with O's, which would lead into a problem between the two….

Now then…a modified list of characters that appear in every arc of this fic so that you'll know which series (or in this case, film) they came from…
