Part 8 is now underway as Ankh is now stuck with the Detective Boys, and since he is currently using Shinichi's body in Conan form, he'll be forced to do something extreme…unless Shinichi Kudo's consciousness give the Greed some ideas on how to deal with the terrorists without exposing too much to Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko…which would mean Ankh and Shinichi must reach a quick compromise if they are to save everyone within the airship…
Gotoh clenched his fists as the footage shows that the airship has been raided and now the terrorists have taken over, and within minutes they would have the hostages rounded up, yet he saw Ankh still with the Detective Boys and he wondered what the Greed can do given his "current condition" and imagined what could Ankh do the moment he regain his "original form" should he get the rest of his red Core Medals back. He now pinned his hopes on Kyuji in getting to the airship and use the Core Medals' powers as O's to stop the Red Siamese Cats from causing a situation that may result in tragedy.
"Hino…you'd better get there…I don't think Ankh might hold back and may resort to bloodlust just to save his own hide…not to mention that Shinichi Kudo's body is on the line here…"

The scene then shifts back to the airship, where Shinichi's conversation with the Detective Boys is interrupted when they saw the rooftop door of the attic opened and the five kids hid themselves, where armed men in strange, red uniforms enter, and there "Andy Khu" saw the logo on their uniforms and deduced them to be the members of the dreaded "Red Siamese Cats" terrorist organization. The five kids then saw them carrying bombs and started to go to different places which the five kids realized what the intruders intended to do.
Thinking fast, "Andy Khu" decided that the best way to avoid gunfire and blood spill is to get the Detective Boys out of the intruders' sights and wait for the coast to be clear, as he decided to let the intruders place the bombs first, then secretly diffuse them and find a way to discard them without arousing suspicion. That way the intruders won't be able to reset the timer assuming that they don't have any spare with them.
"Alright...we stay hidden until the coast is clear..."
"Who are those guys in red suits?"
"It's not Christmas yet...is it...?"
"Genta!"
"Are we being...hijacked...?"
"At the moment...we are...so we wait and we plan our next move..."
"Andy...Genta...Ayumi...look...they're putting something there..."
"Bombs...they're planting bombs here to keep the adults at bay through threats...okay...as soon as they leave...we're going to disarm them..."
"Eh...?"
"Us...?"
After seeing the intruders setting the bombs and left the attic, Ankh and the Detective Boys slowly came out and started to check the areas where the bombs are placed and decided to slowly diffuse the bombs after seeing the areas where the bombs are placed, and they hoped that none of the terrorists find out that there are kids still on the loose. Shinichi has already assumed that the Red Siamese Cats have, by now, taken over the ship and held everyone at gun point..

85: Hikōsen, koa no Medaru, Haijakkā part 8
A few minutes later, as Ankh and the Detective Boys are set to disarm the bombs that the Red Siamese Cats planted, the Red Siamese Cats wasted no time, as they stormed the airship and head straight for the lobby area, aiming their weapons at the passengers and held them at gunpoint, and they even found Jirokichi as they too aimed their guns at him, ignoring the fact about knowing his reputation. With all of the passengers rounded up, the leader of the terrorist revealed himself, and this spells bad news for everyone inside.
"Okay...listen up, you lowlifes..I am sure you know who we are..."
"So what if we do...what do you want?"
"That, Mr. Suzuki...is to get revenge for incarcerating my best men ten years ago...and to get even is by hijacking your ship...and steal your precious items..."
The leader of the Red Siamese Cats then stated that his terrorist group is here to get revenge on Jirokichi for sending their comrades to jail 10 years ago, which Jirokichi rebutted that they will not bow to terrorists, but then he is silenced when told that if anyone tries to resists, he will have his men either set the bombs installed within the airship off or will release another ampoule containing the bacteria that is released earlier within the ship.
"No way! I need them!"
"To bait the Phantom Thief Kid? Sorry for you...and sorry for him...we have plans for these precious items..."
"Over my dead body!"
"I don't mind it...but what about your guests...surely you wouldn't want to risk their lives after we planted bombs all over this airship..."
"YOU WHAT?"
"Here's the remote...try anything funny...one push of this button..."ka-boom"...it's bye-bye for you and your guests..."
"Blast you...you ruined my day!"
The passengers were shocked by this and realized that there is a spy among them as they slowly figured that someone released the bacteria that resulted in some getting infected and now they are threatened to suffer the same if any of them try to fight back. Left with no choice, the passengers are forced to obey the terrorists' demands so as not to provoke them. Ran remained calm somehow and wondered if the Phantom Thief Kid is somewhere here and aware of the situation.
"That guy...I wonder if he is aware of this..."
Meanwhile, Ai Haibara hid behind Professor Agasa and uses her radio to alert Ankh of the danger, unaware that the Greed is being coached by Shinichi's consciousness in diffusing the bombs with the assistance of the Detective Boys.
"Ankh...can you hear me...? The Red Siamese Cats have taken over the airship..."
-x-
At the attic of the airship, Shinichi's consciousness began to mentally coach Ankh in disarming the bombs, which are about eight of them in separate areas where most of the electrical components where it generates electricity to help maintain control of the airship, are located, and the Greed is displeased with what he is doing since he intend to get his red Core Medals back once the Phantom Thief Kid is caught. However, Shinichi managed to persuade him to "ride along" since stopping the terrorists are more important so that he can get closer to the Core Medals once the danger and threat are taken cared off.
"I can't believe I'm doing this..."
"You're doing fine..."
"When I get my body back...I'll EAT you alive..."
"I'm not that edible...and at least you get to experience something that is not from 800 years ago..."
"Don't tempt me..."
"I'm not..."
Meanwhile, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are serving as lookouts in case the terrorists show up, and if they do, the Detective Boys will alert Ankh of their presence. So far the Red Siamese Cats haven't showed up, and they are relieved that they haven't found out about the Detective Boys being on board. The four of them are the only ones who can help ease the matter and try to find a way to call for help in alerting the authorities at Osaka about their current situation.
While things are going smoothly, Ankh is busy disarming the third bomb and mentally asks himself why he is doing this, feeling that he has been degrading himself as he is letting humans do the work for him, though Shinichi mentally assured him that he is not being degraded and that things would work out for the best, and that the Greed has gotten this far collecting an assortment of the other Greed's Core Medals.
"You sure are enjoying this, huh?"
"Partially...but at least you get to learn something in this era..."
"Fine. Your health is dependent on me...so try anything funny..."
"How can I when you're controlling my body..."
"Fine...stop nagging me so I can get this done with..."
"Okay..."
However, while Ankh and the Detective Boys are at work, the scene at the airship lobby shows that the Red Siamese Cats forces Jirokichi to hand over the Lady Sky and the Greed's Core Medals while threatening to shoot and kill Sonoko at gunpoint. While the terrorists are pleased with their easy loot in their hands, they are unaware that the items they have are fakes as Jirokichi made it appear that the items at the traps are fakes, and this convinces them and they fell for the trick, unaware of the deception.
"Okay...hand over the treasures..."
"Over my dead body!"
"Or would you say..."over her dead body"...?"
"EEK!"
"Sonoko! You neko-bastards...here! These are the real ones! The ones I placed on those traps are fakes...and you're lucky the Phantom Thief Kid isn't here yet..."
"Good...now you can have your bitch-niece back..."
"Uncle!"
"Sonoko..."
However, a turn of events took place as one of the hostages, Nishitani vocally lamented that the Detective Boys are nowhere to be found which the terrorist leader heard it and orders his men to find them. Agasa mentally berated Nishitani for his stupidness now that their chance to get help have been dashed.
"Oh...I wonder if those kids are safe...!"
"Eh? What did you say? There are kids here?"
"Yes..."
"Where are they...?"
"Um...in the attic...?"
"You...take five of our men and find them!"
"You moron! Why did you tell them?"
"What about it?"
"They'll kill them or throw them off board! And they're our only chance to get help!"
"Oops..."
"That blabbermouth! He's so stupid...!"
Ai tries to contact Ankh but the waitress grabbed her radio and slapped her hard while showing out her gun, revealing that she is part of the terrorists, and the passengers now realized how the Red Siamese Cats entered the airship undetected. The situation causes a tense moment now that the Detective Boys are in danger once they are caught.
"Ankh...trouble...they're on to you..."
"I'll take that!"
"Huh?"
SLAP!
"Unfh!"
"Hey! Why did you...? Wait...don't tell me..."
"Yup...I'm with them...and make another scene like that I'll shoot you."
"Blast it!"
Agasa helps Ai up and applies a cold water bottle to ease the swelling on her cheek, while Ai glares at the waitress who is part of the terrorists.
-x-
Back at the attic of the airship, with Shinichi's consciousness coaching him, Ankh managed to disable five of the bombs and is set to take down the remaining three when the terrorists' voice are heard, in angry tones which the Detective Boys' terrified voices can also be heard. There Shinichi's consciousness heard this and realized that Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are caught and are taken hostage, and also realized that they might've learned that the bombs are diffused.
Shinichi: "Blast! They must've figured that we're here! We got no choice...we'll have to..."
Ankh: "What? I'm not going to play bait here!"
Shinichi: "We can't let them kill those kids!"
Ankh: "Not my problem!"
Shinichi: "At least we can stall those terrorists for the time being...and we need to know if they are also here for your Core Medals..."
Ankh: "Blast! I can't believe I'm degrading myself in to listening to you!"
Shinichi: "Please...I beg you...!"
Ankh: "I'll simply rake them to death!"
Shinichi: "Don't! You can't reveal to Genta and the others about your situation!"
Ankh: "Grr...! Blast it!"
"Alright! I know there is one more of you there!"
"Show yourself or we blast these brats here!"
"And we mean it!"
"We're counting to three! ONE! TWO! THR..."
"Help!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Save us!"
The terrorists threatened to shoot the Detective Boys to death if Ankh doesn't show himself up, which Ankh mentally calls off their bluff and revealed his "monster hand", preferring to take them on, but Shinichi's consciousness talked to Ankh, and after some mental discussion, Shinichi advices Ankh to turn himself in for now, and the Greed reluctantly surrendered to the terrorists and the five are taken back to the lobby to meet with the terrorist leader of the dreaded Red Siamese Cats.
-x-
At the lobby, the Detective Boys are shown to the Red Siamese Cats leader, and demanded which one of the kids diffused the bomb, in which Ankh uncharacteristically admitted, to spite the leader, in which the terrorist was impressed at Ankh's proclamation, and decided to use this as an example to keep the prisoners from rebelling as he grabbed Ankh and threw him out of the airship via an open window that was opened, and the other passengers (except for the terrorists) are shocked at the terrorist leader's ruthless actions, fearing that "Andy Khu" will not survive the fall.
To Be Continued…
Some action and suspense just like in the movie "Lost Ship In The Sky", except for a few modifications which are obvious to you readers. With only two red Core Medals (Taka and Misago) in his possession, Ankh can't assume his Greed form, so how will he survive the fall?
