Hunt For The Mystical Medals

The "Lost Ship In The Sky" plot is FINALLY underway as the airship is getting ready to take off. This is where the fanfic adaptation of the movie begins, with the guests are "introduced" and the characters involved will have their roles played here. This will definitely give you an "aerial thrill" as aside from the villains of that movie, the Greed will also have plans of getting their "loot".
Two days have passed since Gameru's failed assault on O's, the "Promised Day" has arrived and Jirokichi is excited as he gets up in the morning and prepared everything as today is the day that he will finally get to capture the Phantom Thief Kid and get the "glory and fame" that has eluded him for so many years.
He then told his staff to get to work as the guests he has invited will arrived within the hour, and that also include members of a news channel and other "esteemed" guests.

An hour later, Jirokichi is already on board his airship and is welcoming his guests who will be the witnesses to see the Phantom Thief Kid being captured later on, with the Detective Boys (Genta Kojima, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida), Kogoro and Ran Mori, Hiroshi Agasa, and Ankh (in Conan Edogawa's form) being the first to arrive and welcomed on board. Jirokichi eagerly welcomes them on board and made them "feel at home" as the guests (save for Ankh) marveled at the ambience of the airships' interior designs.
"Welcome! Welcome! Come on in! Feel at home! This marvelous airship is more than enough to accommodate you all! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"Wow…what an ambience…"
"This is great…"
"This is the first time I'm riding an airship…"
"I thought you're scared of heights, Genta…"
"Want me to throw you out when we fly, Mitsuhiko?"
"Knock it off, you two…"
"Sorry, Ayumi…"
"Sorry, Ayumi…"
"Looks like I'm about to witness the capture of the Phantoim Thief…glad you decide to join, Ran…"
"Yes, daddy…"
The scene shifts to Ai and Ankh, where the Greed shows his discomfort of assuming Conan's form yet Ai is able to calm him down as she assures him that once the Phantom Thief Kid is captured, she will personally ask Jirokichi to give her the red Core Medals, with Ankh reluctantly agreeing to use the Core Medals to further heal Shinichi's body. Though this would mean waiting for long hours throughout the day, Ankh chose to be patient as long as Ai kept her word as long as he get his Core Medals back.
"I can't believe I let you talk me in to this…"
"I know this mean a lot to you…but we can't act rash…what if your fellow Greed are there and tries to get their Core Medals after you found its locations…?"
"Hmph."
"Trust me…once the voyage is over…once the thief is caught…you know what I mean…"
"Grr…fine."
Ankh stared at the window of the airship and looks back at how he got himself "suckered" into accepting this "caper" and why he inadvertently went along with this scheme and why he is forced to willingly go along for the ride even though he felt himself "degrading" once he got in to this mess and why he couldn't turn it down in the first place.
-FLASHBACK-
The scene goes back to yesterday where Shiho and Kyuji are talking to Ankh about accepting Jirokichi's invitation to ride at the airship while at the same time persuading him to "behave", as well as to be patient in waiting as Jirokichi is going to use the Core Medals in luring the Phantom Thief Kid out in the open and capture him. While the Greed is against the idea of using HIS Core Medals to capture a thief, he finally relented once told that Shiho will personally ask Jirokichi for the red Core Medals once the Phantom Thief Kid is captured.
"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?"
"You heard me, Ankh…behave."
"AS IF I'M GOING TO! I WON'T LET AN OLD HUMAN TO USE MY CORE MEDALS AS BAIT! WHEN I SEE HIM…I'M GOING TO EAT HIM!"
"Trust Kyuji on this, Ankh…when the thief is captured…I'll personally ask him to give me the red Core Medals…and there you can have it and use it to regenerate your body…then harness its power to fix Shinichi's body, and believe me, we're doing this since we have to assume that the other Greed are also after the airship…and at least we're just close to your medals…at least that's what matters…"
"Grr…"
"Come on, Ankh…I'm sure Shinichi would agree with us…"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, Ankh…"
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT…I'LL PLAY ALONG WITH YOUR PLAN…JUST STOP WIGGLING YOUR EYEBROW…IT SICKENS ME!"
Although Ankh reluctantly agreed, he is again "pissed off" when told, and requested, by Shiho that he must assume Conan Edogawa's form as she is informed by Hiroshi that the Detective Boys are among those invited to board the airship and witness the Phantom Thief Kid's capture, which also means that she'll have to assume Ai Haibara's form, much to Ankh's further chagrin.
"Oh…one more thing…you'll have to assume Conan's form while in this trip…"
"OVER MY DEAD BODY! I WON'T LOOK LIKE A CHILD AGAIN! I RATHER DIE!"
"Oh Ankh…"
"STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR CUTE FACE!"
"You want your Core Medals, right?"
"OF COURSE…!"
"Then you'll have to be…"
"ALRIGHT! JUST MAKE SURE NO SCREW-UPS HAPPEN AT THAT DAY!"
"Then it's settle…thank you, Ankh…"
"WILL YOU STOP WIGGLING YOUR EYEBROWS?"
"Wow…so cute…"
"KYUJI!"
Left with no choice, and wanting to get his Core Medals back, Ankh had no choice to agree to Shiho's terms and all are set to go, and Kyuji is also coming along, knowing that the other Greed may crash in on the "entrapment" and attempt to get their Core Medals back, hence the need to have O's help in repulsing the other Greed, so as to prevent them from assuming their "complete forms" should either of the three get nine Core Medals that are essential to them regaining their full forms.
However, Kyuji said that he'll have to stay behind for the moment to see if the other Greed might cause trouble at the ground, and Shiho nodded, knowing that O's power is needed should the Greed create a Yummy to take advantage of O's absence. With everything set, they all retire for the day with Shiho telling Ankh on how to "concentrate" in switching between Shinichi and Conan's forms while she concocted a formula to help her maintain her control in her adult and child forms.
-END FLASHBACK-
As the guests are pouring in, Hiroshi Agasa wondered if Kyuji would arrive on time to make it to the guest list as he knew the time of departure and hoped that nothing untoward would happen, as O's power is needed should the other Greed show up and take everyone inside the airship hostage and get their Core medals back. That, along with the Phantom Thief Kid showing up as well, would certainly cause a conflict that might spiral out of control. Then he realized that Kyuji had to patrol the streets to see if a Greed or a Yummy are around, and he hoped that there is none so Kyuji would arrive at the airship.
-x-
About 30 minutes later, the airship began to depart from the Suzuki mansion after all of the guests have boarded in and is now leaving in the process of leaving Tokyo as it slowly heads for its destination where the Phantom Thief Kid said he would sneak his way inside once it reaches Osaka. Hiroshi got a text message from Kyuji which says that he won't make it in time to the Suzuki mansion as planned but will catch up in another way.
Hiroshi sighed and hoped that the other Greed won't make it here as the last thing the airship wants is wanton violence given how dangerous the three Greed are, and with Ankh also with the other guests, control would be difficult to maintain so he kept his fingers cross that this kind of scenario won't happen and that the cruise would go on peacefully as he hope for.
"May Kami-sama be with you, Kyuji…"
The scene shifts within the airship where the Mori's and the Detective Boys are not the only ones on board as it shows several other personalities whom Jirokichi have known, and it ranges from several acquaintances from police, some of whom are also after the Phantom Thief Kid, to a hired news crew who are on hand to take live footage of the Phantom Thief Kid's capture. The following persons on board the airship includes:
- Ginzo Nakamori and his police team, who are set to escort the thief once the airship reaches the landing area once he is apprehended;
- Takamichi Fujioka, a journalist of a little-known publishing company in Tokyo;
- Misaki Mizukawa, a TV Director;
- Kasumi Nishitawi, a reporter;
- Junpei Ishimoto, the cameraman
As the cruise went smoothly while en route to Osaka, Jirokichi is seen talking to Ginzo as the two are exchanging pleasantries while the latter thanked the senior citizen/businessman for inviting him and his team on board so as to escort the elusive thief while assuring him that Jirokichi will get the rights to be the "one" to capture the thief, in which Jirokichi responded that everything is okay and assured to him that once he gets his "minutes of fame" he will hand over the thief to Ginzo.
"Thank you for trusting me on this, Ginzo…"
"No problem…I know you worked hard on this and I hope that your plans would work once the thief comes in. I don't mind about you being the first to catch him as long as he is restrained and taken to prison…"
"Of course, he won't escape! I have everything laid out…and you'll get to see them later and why I'm prepared for this…"
"Hmm…I'm guessing that after this you'll retire…"
"Maybe…but until he is caught by my hand…I'm still kicking…ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"I sure admire your enthusiasm and determination…"
"Thank you…"
"Shall we then…?"
"Sure!"
Meanwhile, the TV crew is preparing their equipments in case the Phantom Thief Kid makes his move should he decide to board the airship earlier than expected while Ankh, in Conan Edogawa's form, looks around and attempts to use his Greed abilities to sense the aura of his Core Medals, and while he is at it, he is interrupted when Ai came and reminded the Greed to "behave" as she is sure that the Phantom Thief Kid is also after the Core Medals of the other Greed as she assume that the thief finds them valuable and told him to be patient, reminding him her promise.
"Ankh…remember what we agreed on…"
"I can't help it!"
"I know you want them so badly, but you can't get them just yet…"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Want an ice cream…"
"Grr…fine…at least it'll help me pass up the time…"
"Good. Waitress…!"
Ankh reluctantly agreed and chose to "behave" when Ai asked the waiter for an ice cream bar which calmed the Greed since he has shown his fondness of ice creams. As everyone is enjoying the ride, the scene shows somewhere within the airship where the scene zooms in at the smoking room area where a waitress enters, and it then shows that an ampoule with the logo of a red-colored Siamese cat is seen underneath a sofa which the waitress didn't notice.
Then the scene shifts to Jirokichi's office within the airship, where a hidden roe of eggs are shown, which revealed that Mezeru uses a Cell Medal and planted it on someone with strong desire and the roe is there waiting for it to mature that would soon unleash a school of marine-based Yummy. Thus someone within the airship is the Yummy's host.
-x-
At the Kougami Foundation, Kousei Kougami is baking a cake which has the designs of an airship and then glances at the window where the airship passes by and he smiled as he senses that something "good and exciting" is about to happen, having learned that Jirokichi has the Greed's Core Medals and is sure that the other Greed, especially Ankh, are going to make an attempt to get them back, while he is sure that O's will be there to stop them. The Kougami Foundation's president is in high spirits as this would mean the upcoming fight inside the airship would result in Cell Medals being spilled and is counting on both O's and Ankh to deliver 60% of the Cell Medals to him.
"Have a good ride, Ankh…O's…for I believe something good is about to happen…AND YOU'LL BRING ME 60% OF THE CORE MEDALS YOU COLLECT! SPLENDID! SPLENDID INDEED!"
Elsewhere, Shintaro Gotoh is making his rounds within the streets and saw the airship hovering above him. He wondered if it is okay for Ankh to be on board since he fears that if Ankh gets most of his Core Medals back he might assume his Greed form and may abandon Shinichi Kudo's body. Then his Yummy detector blared and realized that a Yummy is detected and decided to investigate, wondering if Kyuji Hino is on board the airship or still around the corner.
"Looks like the trouble have already begun before the airship even left Tokyo…"
To Be Continued…
Looks like the stage has been set as the airship is now airborne, and the first part of the Lost Ship In The Sky movie is detailed here, with a few twists such as Ankh being on board, and that Mezeru places a Cell Medal on someone which causes that person's desire to hasten the maturing of the Yummy nest.
Feel free on who among the people inside the airship is the Yummy's host, though you may already know who has the "most obsessive desire" there…
Preview:
While the airship is en route to Osaka, the next chapter will focus on the Yummy attacks on the ground below. See who's going to stop them…
